Requesters and Buyers are able to release orders containing an Item Master item to a vendor regardless of whether a vendor item is defined for that item or not.
With this, a user can release and email a PO to a vendor regardless of whether the item is contracted, meets regulatory/quality requirements, a different case size, invoice UOM, etc.
For Item Master items, there should be the ability to restrict these updates on orders.
Currently, the only way to prevent PO release for a vendor is by inactivating a vendor.
Solution
Add a setting to the requester profile, buyer profile, or vendor options to prevent requesters and buyers from releasing a requisition or a purchase order with a line containing an Item Master item without a defined and active vendor item.
