Re: [WebERP-developers] Other feature to develop

[rfthomas <rf...@as...>]

Phil,

In the current system, when one looks at an inventory item the list of
vendors is displayed with each vendor's status, i.e. preferred or not.  The
additional status would allow for better information with respect to
vendors.  In addition, we deal in areas where there is government control,
e.g. Aircraft Engines, Surgical Instruments, etc. It is necessary to qualify
vendors for certain items.  By having status flags, maintained by the
appropriate staff, allows people with limited knowledge of the vendors to
make a reasonable choice.

Appropriate staff would manually modify vendor status.  We routinely get
calls from customers requiring annual updates on certifications and
capabilities.

There are times when one of our engineers is at a customer site and needs
something shipped from a vendor immediately.  Staff trying to obtain the
item, don't necessarily know all of the vendors.  If the preferred vendor is
out of stock, they need to know who is approved and go through the list with
some confidence that they will get a properly certified item.

This change would allow for capturing knowledge in the database rather than
relying on possibly one person's recollection or a totally separate
database.

Depending on other's needs, we would view this as a nice to have feature.

Bob
