The Ageing by Vendor chart had reported a single blank group since it shipped. It now reads the vendor from the purchase order the goods were received against.
Ageing by Vendor Reads the Receiving Purchase Order
“Ageing by Vendor” showed one unnamed group containing everything, for every company. It was reading two master-data fields that nothing in the application ever writes — so they were empty on every material and every batch, everywhere.
The vendor is on the receiving document, so that is where it is now taken from: the purchase order line the goods receipt was posted against, using the earliest receipt so the vendor matches the same receipt the ageing clock already runs from.
- Stock received from your own production is reported as In-house, not as missing data
- Stock that is neither purchased nor produced is left blank rather than guessed at
- Master data still wins wherever anybody populates it, so nothing is lost by filling those fields in later
- The vendor filter read the same empty fields, so choosing a vendor emptied the grid. It now matches what the chart shows — a chart cannot name a vendor the filter beside it cannot find
