Enter Included Parts

Explanation

Use this function to enter purchase parts that are to be included in a supplier agreement, i.e., a purchase agreement or a blanket purchase order.

If it is a group agreement, you can specify whether a part is going to be valid for all sites or for just one specific site. If the part should be included on one site only, specify that by entering a value in the Site column. The purchase unit of measure and the conversion factor between the purchase and inventory unit of measure must be the same for the part on all valid sites where it is entered.

If the agreement is valid for a supplier hierarchy, you can add parts valid for both the agreement supplier, but also all subordinate suppliers in the hierarchy.

You can indicate a max amount per line and the result when the maximum amount is reached depends on what is selected in the Maximum Amount Option field in the General tab. If Do Not Exceed is chosen, it is impossible to save a purchase order line that exceeds the amount. You must lower the quantity until the total amount is lower than the maximum amount. If Exceed With Warning is chosen, you will receive a warning message that the amount is exceeded. However, you can still continue with the purchase order line. If Exceed Without Warning is chosen, you will not receive any indication that the amount has been exceeded. You can continue with your purchase order line.

If you are using the update order prices feature in the supplier agreement, you can exclude certain lines from the update process by enabling the Exclude from Order Update switch.
