Allow all licenses to view Item Supplier Details

[matt]

We have run into a roadblock where only Professional license users can see the Supplier Details and Supplier Documents in the Item-->Supplier Details pane (image attached). Viewer, Team, and Participant licenses can only see the list of Suppliers.

Upchain Support have confirmed to us in a support ticket that this is the expected behavior.

However, what we need is for our Supply Chain & Operations teams to be able to see Supplier Part Numbers, Notes, and Supplier Documents in the Details area. They don't need all of the features that a Professional license grants (e.g. they don't use CAD plugins and they don't need to edit BOMs or create new Item versions).

Is there a way for them to access this information or can the UI be changed to allow visibility for all licenses? Thank you.

  

Because Upchain does not allow for multiple manufacturers at the Item level, we have chosen to store multiple manufacturers & suppliers in the Supplier Details area (@chenderson1007 has given a great explanation in their post - very similar to our implementation and for the same reasons).
