Assign a preferred fulfillment vendor based on warehouse & UI Change
Scenario:
A business has multiple warehouses around the country in many states. The purchasing is centrally managed by head office for each warehouse. The items being purchased are not unique, they are off the shelf products. i.e. Fasteners or drinks, etc. Therefore, vendor selection and defaulting is required to be happening based on geographic location of the warehouse being replenished.
SAP Standard has a preferred vendor and alternative vendors which can be used for the MRP/Order Recommendation requirement. However this does not allow for assigning a supply vendor default based on the warehouse being fulfilled/receipted.
It would be useful to larger medium level enterprise companies with multiple warehouses to have a config layer/setting which allows for recommending the default vendor based on the demand in the warehouse it is replenishing to. Example of the requirement is below. 
Additionally, we've had multiple customers ask if the use of the vendor ID in Order Recommendations Order window can be toggled to view as the vendor name instead of just the vendor ID as per below.
