Hi. I’m using V9.0.3 and wish to choose a supplier for an item in a BOM, not necessarily the cheapest option. The system appears to choose the cheapest price from the suppliers to give you the total price. I need to override this some how with a preferred supplier.  
Any help/ideas greatly received.
