Yes, you can select a supplier when creating a requisition, either making it a mandatory requirement or an optional choice. When this option is enabled, the supplier field will present a dropdown list based only on active suppliers in your supplier database; custom or new suppliers cannot be added during the requisition process. This feature is controlled at the branch level.

‍

When choosing the supplier on a requisition, you will have the option to select:

• Same for all items - the same supplier will be applied to all items on the Requisition
• Different for each item - the supplier will need to be selected for each line item. This means that you can have a requisition with items from different suppliers.

How to Control Supplier Selection on Requisitions

An admin must configure the setting in the Branch Profile to enable or enforce supplier selection.

1. Click on the dropdown menu in the top-right corner of the application and select "Manage Branch".

2. Select "Branch Profile" from the left-hand panel.

3. Locate and check the setting "Allow users to choose a supplier per item on requisitions".

Once enabled, you will be able to select a Requirement Level for the supplier field on requisitions:

• Supplier mandatory on all items: A supplier must be selected for every line item on the requisition.
• Supplier mandatory on all database items: A supplier must be selected if the item being requested is from your item database.
• Supplier mandatory on all external items: A supplier must be selected if the item being requested is a non-database (external) item.
• Supplier is optional: Users have the option to select a supplier, but it is not required for submission.
