Create New Supplier Catalog Revision

Explanation

A hosted supplier catalog is used to enable employees to purchase products and services from a suppliers assortment without having to create all part number and pricing information in the system.

This activity is used by the supplier to create a new revision of an existing catalog to make necessary adjustments before submitting a new version of the catalog. When creating the new revision you can chose to copy product lines from an existing revision of the catalog.

Prerequisites

• This activity is only applicable in the B2B solution.
• The supplier must be set up as a B2B Supplier.
• You must have a hosted supplier catalog revision in status Approved or Obsolete to enable the option to create a new revision of the catalog.
• There should not be another revision of the catalog in status Planned or Preliminary. Note that the Preliminary status is only used when catalogs are created by the supplier in the supplier self-service portal (B2B).

System Effects

A new revision of the catalog will be created in status Preliminary and information will be copied based on the selection made when creating the new revision. Note that you only can have one planned/preliminary revision of the catalog at a time.
