If you work with purchase orders in Business Central and share them with your suppliers, the Vendor Display gives suppliers a way to review the orders you have sent them. You can filter the view down to a single purchase order so the supplier only sees the one they need to act on.
To filter on a specific order, click the order number and press Alt+F3. The view then shows only that purchase order. From there, the supplier can adjust dates, change prices, or simply accept the order lines as they are.
Reviewing purchase orders in the Vendor Display
When a supplier opens the Vendor Display, they see all the purchase orders you have sent them. Rather than scrolling through the full list, the supplier can filter the view to focus on one order at a time. This keeps the workflow simple when there are many orders to go through.
How to filter on a single purchase order
To narrow the view to one specific order, the supplier clicks on the order number and presses Alt+F3. This applies a filter so only that purchase order is shown. It is the same filtering shortcut used elsewhere in Business Central, so it should feel familiar.
What the supplier can do with an order
Once an order is filtered and visible, it is up to the supplier to decide how to respond. They can:
- Change the dates on the order
- Adjust the prices
- Accept the order lines as they are
This gives the supplier direct control over the details before the order is confirmed.
