Purchase requisition and vendor selection in Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Operations and AX 2012: Three lessons learned

January 11 2017

(Software version used: D365 product version 1611.) 

Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Operations (a.k.a. AX7) and Dynamics AX 2012 control the use of the purchase requisition line very tightly. Some of the functionality may be surprising but turns out to be quite logical. In particular, the user can not just select any vendor.

Let's start with an overview of the system's approach.

If you have trade agreements for multiple vendors, the system will select the cheapest one but does not show the other vendor in the list which is a problem. Microsoft should fix this.

can only select 1 vendor, the cheapest one.

price is defaulted to that vendor.
