Specify Supplier

Explanation

The Supplier column automatically indicates the supplier that is entered as the primary supplier of this part. You can add or change the primary supplier for the purchase part by using Supplier for Purchase Part command.

You can change the supplier by using the List of Values if several suppliers are defined for the part. If there are suppliers connected to the part but none is set as primary, you can select from among them by using the List of Values.

If no supplier at all is connected to the part, you must connect one in Supplier for Purchase Part.

Prerequisites

• A purchase requisition header must have been entered and saved.
• There must be more than a primary supplier defined for the purchase part. However, you can also have several suppliers instead of a primary supplier.

System Effects

Depending on the action, three different system effects can occur.

• The primary supplier for this part is changed or a new supplier is connected.
• The supplier is changed from a primary supplier to a supplier other than the one automatically indicated.
• A primary supplier is connected to the part.
