Use this page when you need to replace a supplier that is connected to a purchase part. This is done by using the Change Supplier for Parts page. In this page, you indicate the current supplier and the intended supplier. You can also use some selection methods, such as purchase group and purchase parts, in an alphabetical interval. When the data is entered, you can click Count to get information about the number of changes that will occur.
The supplier for purchase part connection must be in Active status for the supplier that will be replaced.
When the changes are performed, the connection between the current supplier and the purchase part acquires the Inactive status, whereas the connection between the new supplier and the purchase part acquires the Active status. If no connection between the new supplier and the purchase part existed before the replacement, a new supplier for purchase part record is generated. The price is copied from the old supplier, so you need to check and manually update the prices for the new relationship.
