Advanced Vendor Approval (AVA)

When purchasing critical products, it is important to be in control of potential vendors, potential manufacturers, country of origin and manufacturing sites, for delivery in a time interval, or to a specific site or warehouse.

For a lot of products there are high focus for ensurrance of sustainability and differs set of legislation from country to country and from customer to customer. This module can document and ensure our effort to live up to all expectations.

Functionality for Advanced vendor approval (AVA) for an item, is available in Dyn365FO. This module is offering multiple information and functionality, extending the available AVL functionality but with an individual setup. The AVA and AVL's can be setup independent of each other and used at the same time if needed/wanted.

The AVA functionality handles extended AVL data, such as: A unique AVA Id, approval of the AVA ID's, site, warehouse, primary/non-primary, agent, manufacturer, manufacturing site/address, country/region of origin, end customer, end customer address and end customer destination country.

When setting up Trade agreements for purchase prices the following 5 'main rules' applies to find the best (read: Lowest) purchase price:

Validity date intervals are always adhered to (note: Both from and to date must be filled in if more than one record exists)

Currency codes are always adhered to

Attribute based pricing IDs are always adhered to

The price search engine will find the most accurate 'match' in terms of dimensions and stop at the first 'match' it finds even if a higher price exists for e.g., a quantity-based setup. The more parameters in terms of dimensions and quantities are used in the setup, the more options can be setup. If none or very few parameters are used only a few combinations must be search through to find the best sales price on an order line.

If the 'Find next' parameter is used, the search engine will however try to find an even lower price based on e.g., other quantizes.

If a purchase price agreement line is setup using the AVA ID as parameter and a purchase order/-agreement line is created using this AVA ID, the purchase price will be taken from this.
