Hello everyone, 

We are looking for some help please!

If a sales person raises a customer order for a product that has multiple suppliers, if they would like to select stock from a specific supplier, how would they do this?

The supplier is not reflected in the part code or description  to avoid duplication as we have thousands of products.

Many thanks in advance!

Hi,

When you add the customer order line, is the stock already available to be reserved?

Or would the stock would be ordered from the needed supplier after the order is placed (manually or via MRP)?

Good morning, 

Thank you for your reply! 

I can confirm when we add the customer order line, is the stock already available to be reserved.

Many thanks,

Are you already using condition codes? This functionality is only available for tracked (serial/Lot) parts and will allow you to define the CC you need on customer order line. Then you can reserve from a matching CC stock.

You will not be able to plan for exact CC and would complicate things however. That's the downside.

If you decide to use them, CC would be the supplier ID, and would be stored for each part in stock location record.

Hope this helps,

Asanka
