Today the supplier that is used by planning (MPS/MRP) and for the generation of back to back purchase orders is defined at the product level. An option should be provided to allow for the definition of this data at the product site level. Different sites can be geographically diverse and rely on different supplier bases. This logic should work like the purchasing lead time. Take it from the product but override with the site if it is defined.

  • Receiving the similar request from RM2. In their case, they have multiple company setup. All child companies would need to purchase from the parent company, while the parent company place large PO to the actual supplier. In this case, we are forced to set the primary supplier to the parent company, and hence lost the ability to set the actual supplier as primary supplier for the parent company.
