Purchase Order Quotations

CJBeattie

Hello,

I am aware that you can create purchase order quotations in AX 4.0, and after sending out an original, you can change the vendor on the PO header and resend it out.

Is this recorded anywhere (the multiple vendors that is gets sent out to)? As the quotation will be converted to an actual purchase order by changing the purchase order type on the header also. Is this the best way) or is there a function similar to creating return orders, where the reference to the newly created purchase return is the original purchase order?

Regards

Hi Craig

This is only seen under the Inquiries option of the purchase order.

This is not a very "clever" area of AX. This is why there are alterations. To Increase have an IEM add-on and elements of this include purchase quotations where one order is sent to numerous vendors and these are all tracked and the results compared by cost and lead-time, etc.

The standard to enable tracking would mean one purchase quote per vendor, do not change the vendor on the same quote, use the copy functionality.

Changing the header is the best way, it references the quote to the order by using the same number.
