Was 'Default Supplier' removed from item master in v11? if so how do you pull items in purchase order based on supplier?

[alexsilva]

hello folks,

currently my material requests can have many many items and all of them are bought to different suppliers.

when I try to generate a purchase order for a material request, the system is creating one purchase order with all the items from the material request, and it is very time consuming to be removing the items that do not belong to the selected supplier. Looking around on how to fix this problem I found this article [pull items in purchase order based on supplier](Not Found, but for some reason in ERPNext V11 at the item master, ‘Default Supplier’ field is not longer there.

.

if the field was removed, how can I pull items in purchase order based on supplier?

Right now if I try to create a new purchase order and click ‘get items from material request’ button

it pulls all the items from the selected material request, even they belong to different suppliers

hopefully somebody could point me to the right direction, thanks,

When you enter the default supplier, the system will create a PO all the items for which the selected supplier is default.

Material request to purchase order

Now, imagine a situation, where 10 items are supplied to you by supplier A, always. A material request contains 100 items where these 10 items are available. When you click on Make > PO, the system gives this pop-up: [image] If you select “Supplier A” as per our example, the system creates a single PO for all items…
