Purchase Order Generator error

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I am trying to get our company's inventory set up to automatically track inventory levels and generate the purchase orders for the items that have hit the minimum level threshold.  I am running into an issue though that I am hoping somebody can help me with.  I am following these steps to set up the item and to generate the purchase order for the item: www.dynamicsgpinsights.com/.../automatically-generate-purchase-orders-in-microsoft-dynamics-gp

I am running into an issue though.  When I click on Suggest Purchase Orders and it brings up the Suggested Purchase Orders Preview screen the item that I set up has a red X next to it.  When I click into the item to see the issue it states that "A vendor couldn't be selected using the vendor selection."  But, I go back into the Purchase Order Generator Item Maintenance screen screen, I click on the arrow next to Primary Vendor ID and select and save the Vendor it doesn't seem to stick.  Because, when I go back to the Suggested Purchase Orders Preview screen the item that has hit the minimum inventory level threshold still has the red X next to it saying that "A vendor couldn't be selected using the vendor selection."  

Is there another spot that I should be selecting the vendor for that item so that it is retained within the system so that the purchase order generator is working properly and not generating the red X next to the item every time it suggests the purchase order?  Thank you.

    Try below steps and check again.

    1. Go to: Cards-->Inventory-->Quantities/Site.

    2. Enter Item number, site id and enter primary vendor id then click save.

    Your reply is much appreciated.

    Hope this helps!!!
