Hi guys,

How can I configure so item would be purchased from one particular supplier only?

Reagrds,
Batmush

Can u elaborate ur question. Probably there could be some good workaround if not a good solution .

We have many suppliers in the system that may sell the item but now we want to eliminate buying from them but from one supplier only. Again, this is for particular item; suppliers cannot be deleted. Human errors may occur...

Batmush,

I am not sure about BaaNIV. In LN 6.1 there is a field "Buy-From BP" in Item Purchase Data - tdipu0101m000. In this session you can define the buy-from bp and system treats this in the following way (as copied from help text)

Hope this will be of some help. If not, keep trying for other ways....Cheers

Buy-from BP buy-from business partner
Default value
If this field is filled, SSA ERP takes this field as the default value for retrieving a buy-from business partner when a purchase order is generated.

The searching logic SSA ERP uses to retrieve a buy-from business partner is as follows:

From the Buy-from BP field in the Item - Purchase (tdipu0101m000) session.
From the Buy-from BP in the Item - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session that is:
Set to Single Source in the Item - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.
Linked to an Item in the Item - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.
From the Buy-from BP in the Item - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session that is:
Set to Preferred in the Preferred field of the Item - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.
Linked to an Item in the Item - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.
From the Buy-from BP in the Item - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session that is:
Set to Single Source in the Item - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.
Linked to an Item Group in the Item - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.
From the Buy-from BP in the Item - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session that is:
Set to Preferred in the Preferred field of the Item - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.
Linked to an Item Group in the Item - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.
Note
When a purchase order is generated by Enterprise Planning, this field is not used. As a result, Enterprise Planning starts with number two when searching for a buy-from business partner.

Does any one know some solution in IVc4?

If blocking a supplier helps , that is there in Baan IV .

Also u can add a signal code to an item so that user gets a message to verify the supplier .

Thank you.

Hi
R U using Supply chain Module, if using u create a contract against required supplier with 100% share of business. This can control your reciepts.
