Use this activity to remove the approval from a supplier on an approved suppliers list. This is useful if the supplier fails an audit that you have performed at the supplier site.
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.
Note: Suppliers that are not listed on the approved suppliers list should be considered unapproved, i.e., they will require authorization in the same way as those with a Non-Approved status.
All purchases from the supplier of parts belonging to the defined purchase group on the site, used on the list, will require authorization.
The expiration date for the approval, if one specified, will be removed.
