how to assign a approved vendors list for particular item or item group

Every item or item group has a particular certified vendor list and system should allow only the certified vendor when raising a PO for particular item

Thanks in advance

So you configure the approved vendors against the item record. What have you tried? Where does it not work for you? What version are you on?

If you’re using AX 2012 you can find these options in Purchase menu, Setup Approved Vendors

On the main page also you can find Approved Vendors category where you can choose how system to check this relation, so you can choose: no check, warning only or not allowed.

Thanks a lot reply

But i couldn’t find any approved vendors in system

Hi,

If you are using AX2012, you can go to Product information management=> Common=> Released products

Select your product/item, on the Purchase tab click on ‘Setup’ button under Approved vendor section.

Now here you define the Certified vendors information and effective period of certification. This will be validated when you do any procurement transaction.

Thanks a lot reply

but still i couldn’t find the option please help me out

Hi Krishna,

Kindly state the exact environment of your AX.

I think you are not using the Process Industries flavor on it, which contains this specific feature: Approved vendor list.

If you want to use this feature, you need to install ‘Process Distribution’ model on top of your AX2012 client. To check the same click on ‘Show installed models’ in the About Microsoft Dynamics AX.

On AX2012 FP1 (AX6.1) this comes in default with the application, you just need to enable the license & configuration.

Go to System administration=> Setup=> Licensing=> License configuration and enable the ‘Process distribution’ config key.

i got it

Thanks a lot

Can you verify the solution then please. [:D]
