split purchase requisition qty and release to more than one vendor

Dear all

1 - i have a scenario here we create PR for Item's with large qty say for EX we need for Item X 1000 KG and orders in PR But purchasing Department need to split this qty to 500 Kg buy from vendor A and 500 Kg from Vendor B is it possible or Not

2 - if we approved for this item to release 1000 KG can we release only 500 KG and the other 500 will be remaining

No in principle. It has been suggested as an enhancement https://ideas.dynamics.com/ideas/dynamics-operations/ID0002208 otherwise you need to customsie yourself.

However,when you create a requisition, you can assign one of two purposes to it: consumption or replenishment. if the PR has a purpose of "consumption" and the PR is entered with 2 separate vendors, then AX will generate 2 Purchase Orders. A purchase order is created for each currency, vendor, or legal entity that is identified on the purchase requisition lines. For example, if a purchase requisition has two lines, and each line has a different vendor, currency, or legal entity, two purchase orders are created. i.e. create multiple PR lines, one for each vendor.

Or once you have created the PO you can always undereceive when you have allowed that in your tolerances. However mrp is going o see the expected supply and that may mean it does not order another PR demand.

Whether you give purchasing discretion to raise a separate PO for the balance and how you tie it back to the PR is the question.

Another factor si whether you have enabled change control on your PO.

If there is a regular occurrence for limited set of items then consider using rfq and creating he the {PO for each vendor from the rfq.
