Assign buyer to supplier for PO Suggestions

[Rick_Bird]

So this came up again today with a client. I thought someone (@askulte) had posted something and I found it in the Ideas, which is now locked:

Assign buyer to supplier for PO Suggestions

Suggestion: Add a buyer field to supplier entry, which is used for PO suggestions. Every company I’ve worked at had specific suppliers assigned to each buyer. Why not drive that right from the supplier setup?

I did not find it on Epicor ERP Ideas, so I paraphrased the post and added it to Epicor ERP Ideas.
I thought I would post this and invite those who had voted before or were interested could vote for it on Epicor ERP Ideas:

How does this not have more interest on Epicor Ideas.
Dont most companies assign buyers to vendors?

Because people only have 50 votes and they hoard them for their own issues.

Some do, but big suppliers like Grainger, Amazon may have multiple buyers depending on the type of material purchsed.

It’s still a great Idea though…

that makes sense.
