Creating a Purchase Order from a Material Request mapped every pending item into a single order, leaving the buyer to split it by hand whenever the items came from different vendors. The Create action now reads the default supplier of each pending item (item, item group, then brand defaults). When the items resolve to more than one distinct supplier - including the case where only some of them have a default - a dialog lists the items with their default supplier prefilled and editable. Submitting it groups the items by the chosen supplier and creates one draft Purchase Order per group. When every item resolves to the same supplier the order is mapped straight away with that supplier set, and when none of them has a default supplier the previous behaviour is unchanged.
