Symptoms

Business has requirement to override the Item branch default supplier address book number in the ETO project production work order parts list for PRP planning purposes. Then when PRP purchase order messages are processed, the P3411 processing options to consolidate orders, by suppliers, is enabled.

This would allow the business to override the supplier at the parts list level to meet multiple sourcing options.

Current design supports order consolidation by item branch supplier only, as the parts list supplier address book number is not written to the message detail record.

The alternate solution to reapply the override to the supplier address at the message detail duplicates efforts, is prone to errors, and result in situations where the PO can get created for the wrong supplier.

Client requests that the parts list supplier address book number be the supplier address written by PRP to the P3411 message detail when different from the item branch supplier address book number.
