Default and Alternative Vendors

Does Business Central provide flagging on a Vendor card that identifies a Default Vendor, and does it provide a field that is linked to the Vendor list, where the user can indicate the Alternative Vendor number?

I have the same question (0)

    defaulting of vendors and alternatives is something you can pinpoint on item records.

    default value:

    Other vendors:

    These fields are very helpful if you use the planning tools of BC

    If you are not using items then what you have described is a gap

    Hi Martinaaa,

    No such functionality exist in the base, but user can develop this out of the box (OOTB) solution as per the need.

    Thanks.

    HI
    Can you check the item card and on that you have vendor no and item no which you can provide 

    During MRP planning when you use Planning or requisition worksheet the vendor can get determined from the value you add here

    Also check for catalog items option

    Hi, there is only Alternative Order Addresses for Vendors feature in BC.

    More details: https://yzhums.com/17350/

    Hope this can give you some inspiration.

    Thanks.
