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. > I think we need a way to manage this workflow. The different status are at least a good starting point! Cheers/Axel
