MOQ of a supplier part

[dcamlin (David Camlin)]

Minimum Order Quantity - Supplier Level

Is there a way to accommodate a minimum order quantity at the supplier price list level in Epicor? We have multiple suppliers for the same parts, but different suppliers have different minimum order quantities. Sometimes we purchase based on availability and would like to be able to set up the MOQ per supplier. I know it’s available at the part level in part maintenance, but that doesn’t help for separate suppliers.

Per the above thread, I don’t think there’s a way to do this on the supplier level (if that’s what you’re asking). Just on the Part level as @Randy noted.

Again, could be a nice “Idea”.

I didn’t see one in there, so I went ahead and created it: KIN-I-5829

Ability to Set Minimum Order Quantity on the Supplier Level and Have it Referenced in PO Entry.

This has come up a couple times recently in EpiUsers forum where users would like to set a Minimum Order Quantity at the Supplier Level for a given part.

This can loosely be done via Supplier Price List setting a Price Break with a MOQ and a Price Modifier of 0. At least it is a record of a MOQ. However, there is no direct impact on PO Entry, preventing a buyer from ordering less than that qty from a specific supplier.

Would be a nice enhancement to have this type of interlock available (be it a hard stop (error) or at least a warning).

A new column on VendPart for MOQ would be ideal, eliminating the need to use a bogus price break.
