[Feature Request]: Is there any way Categorizing Suppliers depending on what they supply #14803

Open addex12 opened 2 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I just needed to generate a report that lists a suppliers of the same product and whenever I try to print the suppliers list report it will print all the Supliers list. Same as Manufacturers.

Describe the solution you'd like

I wish there could be A category field for Suppliers and Manufacturers and Filter on the report module so that we can filter and generate a bucnhs of reports depending on our needs. I will try my best in solving but I am not advanced programmer. You guys are amazing!

Describe alternatives you've considered

Hm. I'm kinda loathe to add more fields to those forms. Every time we add more fields, people complain and ask if there's a way to hide them since they don't use them. :-/

We're working through developing a tagging system. Maybe that would work for this scenario. Otherwise you might try using the API and a Google Apps Script for now. I don't know how good you are with javascript, but we have some examples here:

Those examples are usually more for modifying data, so I'm not sure it would work (especially since currently, there is no way for us to know what type of product a manufacturer or supplier makes.) I suppose you could reach through the assets themselves and determine that though.
