Approved Suppliers for Quoting & Ordering

Overview

Using an advanced rule builder, Admin users can now configure which suppliers are visible/accessible for quoting & order creation. For example, if your team has a custom field called "Supplier Status" that is associated with the Supplier, you can set a rule to only display suppliers where Supplier Status equals "Approved" during the quote and order creation workflows.

A primary use-case for this would be to prevent suppliers who have not signed an NDA from appearing in the search supplier drop-down.

How to configure a global supplier search rule:

  1. As an Admin, user, navigate to Organization Settings > Feature Settings

  2. Under Supplier Search Base Query, configure a custom rule that defines which suppliers will be visible for your team for quoting & order creation.

  3. Refresh your screen. Going forward, only suppliers that match the criteria defined under Supplier Search Base Query will appear in the drop-downs for "Add Quote" and "Add Order"

Note: the Supplier Search Base Query will not hide suppliers from appearing on the main supplier list view.
