Hey guys, I cannot seem to figure out how to make a part not require approved suppliers. I have tried looking in Price Lists, Approved Supplier, and haven’t found a way to remove the need for approved suppliers.
Thanks team!
I don’t think there’s a way to not require it. If the part has any approved supplier setup PO Entry wants you to buy from that supplier and gives you the “supplier not approved for this part” error otherwise. Typically we only add approved suppliers and pricing to parts that we know need them. The other option for the part is to delete all approved suppliers (assuming that’s feasible). If a part has no approved suppliers then you can add it under any vendor on a PO.

Agreed - if possible, just never allow it to happen.
I made a BPM to stop people from ever adding a row to AprvVend. Problem solved. 
Thanks! However I’m having trouble finding where the actual entry is that has the approval. I’ve looked in the PartMaster for approved suppliers and none come up. Do you know where the best place to find this is?
Thanks!
I think I ran into this before, If I remember correctly the Operation Entry screen has a field for Primary Supplier. If there is a supplier entered this causes trouble also. You will have to test to verify.
If you really need to get to the bottom of it all, the AprvVend table stores everything.
I mean, it’s hard to decode, but it’s there.
