Use this activity to copy an existing approved suppliers list to a new site and/or purchase group by selecting the copy function in 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.
A new approved suppliers list will have been created. All suppliers that existed on the old list will be copied, but will be in a Not Approved status. The suppliers will require a status change before being approved. The new list will require authorization of purchases for all parts on the site belonging to the specified purchase group.
