Having an issue with supplier not being approved for subcontracting use .
Keep getting this error even though we don’t approve supplier by customer
Help text seems to indicate that the “Approved” box needs to be checked for purchases…so would suspect that extends to subcontracting.
The way Epicor works is that once 1 Supplier is approved for something, then all other suppliers are not approved. It sounds like someone “accidentally” approved a supplier for a Customer. Run a query on AprvVend to find out what supplier is approved.

@jkane you a genius. 
Just checked ours, we’ve got plenty of entries…but none specifically customer-linked.
Yes, Suppliers can be approved for Customers, Parts, and Operations. Happy to help.
Makes sense now that I engage the cerebral cortex a little…makes it pretty flexible to set stuff up.
Part A - Country B - Customer C = Supplier X
Part A - Country D - Customer E = Supplier Y
We don’t get that fancy here.
Unfortunately we don’t want this- we don’t want our supplier to be customer approved, we can’t figure out how to stop this from happening .
If I look at approved suppliers maintenance for that customer there are no suppliers listed. SO I don’t understand why we are getting this message
Thanks for the suggestion – I think I found something: we have a vendor called out for this customer on a part number that is blank for that operation. Any suggestions on how to find it and remove it
Thanks
You can run a query on AprvVend filtering by the Customer Number to find the record. Once you find it, you can delete it and should be good.
