Hi
We have a vendor that we buy multiple items from them. But they require PO total QTY (among all items in PO) should be X numbers. For instance, if we order 10 different items in PO if we add up all QTY it should reach to 200.
Is it anyway in BC that we can set this up?
Also, can be automated through MRP?
Thanks
Hi Guy
Thank you so much for your replay and help. I will work with our team to use this method. Also, since we are in SaaS version I have found the following app that can help with specific vendor.
You could use extended texts as an aide memoir.
Obviously not as neat as automating requirements but can work as a suitable solution. I used this method very effectively in a purchasing department where we had complex mixes, of min x qty per SKU, min y qty per SKU group and a potential minimum order spend for the whole order.
Writing the logic for MRP to do this would have been an expensive nightmare whereas an extended text just lists the requirement as a line of text for the user when adding that item.
Note, it is item rather than vendor specific. If you have multiple vendors for the same product, this will have limitations.
Recurring purchase lines may also give you a partial solution by showing what other items are from that supplier within the PO itself. Note this would be a workaround and could be quite fudgy but may be perfectly acceptable or at least an improvement.
Hello,
On the Item Card you can establish a minimum order quantity for the Purchase Order. However, that is per Item and you want a minimum order quantity per Vendor Purchase Order. This is not possible. I would ask your Partner to write an extension that performs a PO validation that meets a Vendors minimum order quantity. Not hard but doable.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Steve
