turtle,

I lost track of who in the thread that is just now convinced to try the
Sales Order fulfullment workflow. If you haven't yet, try it, and I think
you may find the above is supported by using LedgerSMB in this way.

1) Create Sales Order(s)

2) Go to Order Entry | Generate | Purchase Orders (from Sales Orders)

3) When Generating Purchase Orders for selected Sales Order line items,
If you have multiple vendorpart definitions for that part, it will ask you
to select which vendor you would like to use.

You'll end up with one or more new Purchase Orders to fulfill the line
items in your Sales Orders.
