Category hierarchy - inheritance

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by CU11092048-0 26
I have built a hierarchy of categories for purchases:
1. Office supplies
1.1 Pens
1.2 Paper
For supplier: D1 I have assigned /Paper/ category.
 
When I create reqest for qotoation for /Paper/ category, I use Auto-add vendors I have assigned supplier D1- it's ok.
 
When I create reqest for qotoation for /Office Supplies/ category, I use Auto-add vendors I haven't assigned any supplier.
 
Can and how I automatically inherit suppliers from subcategories?

    You can't inherit up from sub-categories. You can only inherit down.
     
    If the supplier is approved to Office supplies and Paper, but not Pens, you would have to assign them to Office supplies and Paper, and turn off inheritance on the Office supplies category.

    I have hierarchy as below:
     
    In Vendor account:
    When I add category Paper - then Vendor will be add automaticly to RFQ
    But in case when my Vendor can send me price/offer for all category from "Office supplies", I don't woant to add all category separatlly to Vendor, I woant add main category "Office supplies" but then Products from for lower categories aren't inherited.
    Can you set the system so that they are inherited?
