Sounds good!

I dont get the point. The case sounds like repetitive purchasing to me - 
products you source on a regular basis. So you mostly have already a preferred 
supplier (or more than one), so you may purchase against an outline agreement
(similar like https://code.google.com/p/tryton/wiki/CustomerContracts , just 
vice versa ) or have multiple suppliers and source via quotas.

What may happen is that you need to split the Purchase request, in case that 
you cant source everything from the same supplier.

The different status are at least a good starting point!
