It is critical to track the items that arrive at the facility accurately in the Supply Chain and Manufacturing industry, as it helps to maintain an updated inventory and plan the production process accordingly.
Counting and verifying the quantities of received items is a critical step to prevent discrepancies and potential disruptions in production. Accurate inventory counts are vital for managing stock levels and avoiding shortages or overstock situations.
Some companies enlist temporary employees to inspect incoming materials. Using the Employee Center role, the employees can view received items, perform counts, and enter data on a custom form designed for them. You must assign the correct permission to your role if a user needs to view a particular record within the Purchase Order, which is essential for identifying the supplier of specific parts or items.
In this case, the Employee Center role has predefined permissions, and the Vendor Record is not part of the Center role. Instead, you can assign this permission in the Employee record > Access tab > Global Permissions subtab > Add Vendors permission > Set Access level to View > Click Add and Save.
Prerequisite: Make sure the Global Permissions is enabled. Go to Setup > Company > Setup Tasks > Enable Features > Employees tab > Enable Global Permissions box.
An enhancement was logged that requests to add the Vendor permission to the Employee Center role. See SuiteIdeas with Enhancement # 64309.
