Now to really open a can of worms. No one will read this on Friday afternoon on December 27, but I want to vent. I may repost this in 2025… Maybe it’s already been said, many times, many ways… 
So, in Part Entry, in the settings for a site, you can enter:
- Supplier
- Min Order Qty
- Lot multiple
- Lead Time, etc.
But these are a family of variables. They depend on the supplier.
If you change suppliers, you better remember to change all other settings in tandem.
But why?
- Why isn’t this embedded in Supplier Price List? (Lead time is, but that’s it)
- Why isn’t the list of suppliers (via SPL) a selectable grid in Part Entry? (Rather than manually rekeying the data.)
a. Then you could also look at the suppliers at a glance and see who is approved and their lead time, etc.
[Edit]
Also, I’d love to see the PartPlant fields grayed out if you select a supplier that has a part in the SPL.
Like, it’s pretty obscure to know that SPL lead time overrides PartPlant lead time.
Really, there just shouldn’t be a PartPlant lead time. Like I say, it depends on the supplier.
The issue (not really) is that manufactured parts use some these settings, too.
But in that event, it would be nice if one of the “suppliers” could be “us.”
