Hi! I want to limit the amount of vendors from the Vendor drop down field on Purchase order creation to only a handful of vendors instead of every vendor. Is this possible?

You might be able to do this with client scripting where you add a new field that represents the list of vendors you want to display and allow that to update the actual vendor field, which could possibly be hidden.

I thought about replacing the vendor native field with a custom transaction body field sourced by a saved search of the correct vendors, but I don't think it would link properly for the PO creation or work in general for multiple reasons.

You can hide it in the UI and use a script or workflow to replicate the value into the native field

Just move the vendor field to a different tab like the system info or some obscure tab no one looks at

I've done this exact customization on customer side and pretty sure you can hide outright

Mine doesn’t let me hide it. But yeah maybe a workflow could do it

I don't have access to that account anymore. Another thing you can try is blanking out the label, which sometimes results in hiding the field in the UI

Yeah I like that trick too
