Use this activity to add a supplier to an approved suppliers list from the Approved Suppliers List page .
Approved suppliers lists define the purchase authorization process to use for parts in a purchase group on a particular site. Purchases initiated from purchase requisition lines or purchase orders can use the approved suppliers list. If suppliers are approved for the purchase group (and the site) in the approved suppliers list, purchases made from that supplier do not require authorization.
After you have created the approved suppliers list, the second step is to add suppliers to the list and then approve the suppliers.
All purchases for parts belonging to the defined purchase group on the site, used on the list, will require authorization. If the suppliers have not been approved, they will require authorization.
