Convert Quotation into Supplier Agreement
Explanation
This activity is used to convert quotations into supplier agreements. When
you convert the quotation, you can add it either to a new Supplier agreement,
or to an existing purchase agreement or a blanket purchase order.
Note: Quotations for assortments can only result in a purchase agreement.
The ship via code that is used in the converted supplier agreement must exist
on all the supplier addresses that are being used.
Prerequisites
- The quotation line must be in Approved status.
- Normally, supply chain parameters should be defined for the supply chain
relation. For external suppliers, this can be done in the
Supplier to
Site Supply Chain Parameters page, and for internal suppliers this
can be done in the
Site to Site
Supply Chain Parameters page.
System Effects
- The quotation is converted and receives the Converted status when a
supplier agreement is created or the quotation is added to an existing supplier
agreement. A message displays the assigned supplier agreement number. If
a new supplier agreement was created, it receives the Planned status
. Any defined ship via code, delivery terms, payment terms and price including
tax settings will be valid for the supplier agreement. Rejection letters
are printed for the other quotations, provided that the print feature is
used.
- The tax code will be retrieved from the Supplier
for Purchase Part page.
