Question

I buy granite from 3 suppliers, but I get only certain colors from each supplier. When I create a PO, I only want the colors I buy from that supplier to show up in the drop-down list of colors.

Answer

If your granite color selections don't change very often, it may be worth inactivating the colors that aren't available from a specific supplier. Here's how:

  1. Under the Purchasing menu, choose Edit Costs
  2. Click the Options... button
  3. Choose the Product and Supplier where you want to inactivate colors
  4. Click OK
  5. Click on the Product Variant you want to inactivate, and choose Edit...
  6. Check the box for Inactive, click OK
If you have multiple attributes on a product, you must inactivate all of the product variants related to an attribute to hide it completely on purchase orders.

For example, if you have both color and thickness attributes like this:
Ubatuba 2cm
Ubatuba 3cm

You would need to inactivate both 2cm and 3cm variants in order to completely hide Ubatuba from your list of colors on a PO.
