How to trigger a warning when purchasing at a specific vendor?

Overview

The Warning Messages and Alerts module allow you to configure alerts on the customers and vendors or products.

You can select the following types of warnings and create different warnings for purchases and sales:

Warning: This option displays the warning message during the process, but allows the user to continue.
Blocking Message: The message displays a warning message, but the user cannot continue the process further.

First, you need to install the Warning Messages and Alerts module. Go to Apps and look for it (don't forget to remove the Apps filter).

Go to Purchases ‣ Vendors or to Sales ‣ Customers.

Open the vendor or the customer and click on the Warnings tab.

The available warnings are:

Go to Purchases ‣ Products or to Sales ‣ Products.

Open the product and click on the Notes tab.

The available warnings are:

Go to the Purchases application, click on Purchase ‣ Vendors. Go to the Warnings tab.

Under Warning on the Purchase Order, choose Warning and write your warning.

Create a Request for Quotation. Go to Purchase ‣ Request for Quotation and click on Create. Choose the vendor on which a warning was set.

When choosing the vendor, the warning will appear.

Note

If you set a blocking message instead of a warning message, you won't be able to choose the vendor.
