All suppliers are used in one of our company entities (Ex: company 1). Those same suppliers can also be used in one of many of our other company entities (ex: company 2, 5, 7, and 9). Is there a way to default all supplier tabs to show default view for a particular company entity?

 

Example of current view when we move between tabs on supplier:

Supplier A

Invoice Tab - current view is company 1 as first record in company dropdown

Payment Tab - current view is company 9 as first record in company dropdown

How do we default everything to show company 1 as first record in dropdown?

As far as I know there is no functionality for this, sorry ​@Jenn If it would be there, it would be there for customers as well. Also defaulting towards one filled company tab is not in place there. 

I think you have a nice view on this type of functionality, but this brings us also to security. If for example, there is a user with only access to company 5, which has no PO defaults for the supplier (only available in company 1) and a purchase order is raised in company 5, the user will not have access to the company 1 and therefor defaults can't be retrieved. 

Yes a, rather extensive, set of configurations may help here. This also brings additional testing time during every upgrade. Using some bypasses as mentioned by SN might help.
