Vendor *name* native on Purchasing Application screen

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Procurement users, supervisors, storekeepers and administrators' day-to-day activities involve frequent lookups of purchase orders and purchase requisitions. One of the routine tasks associated with this is checking the associated vendor name which is currently not displayed on the Purchasing application (rather the unique identifier is, which is not helpful in identifying the Vendor, and not realistic to be remembered by heart when dealing with hundreds or thousands of vendors). Having to click through multiple screens to see the Name associated to the Vendor field is cumbersome and counter intuitive for end-users who need to quickly check the originating Vendor when checking POs/PRs, especially when the list is long. It interrupts their workflow and reduces their productivity. Searching or filtering long records list by UID is also not feasible when dealing with standard Vendor volumes. Please add a Vendor Name field on the main screen of the Purchasing application.
