Enter Miscellaneous Supplier Info
Explanation
This activity is used to setup defaults on whether to,
e.g., use confirmation
reminders, delivery reminder intervals, whether the ordering date or the receipt
date should be used for retrieving the prices from a supplier agreement or price
list, and
supply chain information for an internal supplier. This includes defining internal supplier information, expiration date
and output
settings. This task is to be performed by a system administrator or an
equivalent personnel.
The internal supplier is used for multi-site
ordering and inventory refilling. If multi-site ordering or inventory refilling is used, the
locations executing internal deliveries must be registered as internal suppliers.
Prerequisites
- Basic data must be defined in
the Purchase/General
sub-tab in the
Supplier
page.
- If using internal supplier, a site must be entered
in the
Site
page.
System Effects
- If an expiration date has been entered, the supplier will be inactivated in the
IFS/Purchasing component's supplier record at the defined date.
- A document text with a suitable output type that has been linked to the
supplier will
be transferred as the default value to any of the supplier's subsequent purchase
orders. Output types, phrases, and document phrases are all managed in
the Document Text Administration
page.
- The information entered will be set
as default when a purchase order is entered
for the specific supplier.
- If receipt reference
reminders are used, you will be reminded to enter a receipt
reference when
registering arrivals and direct deliveries from the supplier. If the user
chooses to perform the receipt without entering a receipt reference, you will be
notified through an event. The Arrival_Without_Receipt_Ref event can be used for
this notification.
- If the Print Amounts incl.
Tax option is enabled, prices inclusive of tax will be printed on
purchase order documents such as the order confirmation reminder, supplier
agreement report, and purchase part report.
- If any of the options in the E-mail area in the Supplier/Purchase/Misc Supplier Info tab are
enabled, then in the automatic order processing, an e-mail relevant to the
option enabled, is sent to the supplier.
