Enter Miscellaneous Supplier Info
Explanation
This activity is used to setup defaults on whether to, e.g., use confirmation reminders, delivery reminder
intervals, whether the ordering date or the receipt date should be used for retrieving the prices from a supplier
agreement or price list, and supply chain information for an internal supplier. This includes defining internal
supplier information, expiration date and output settings. This task is to be performed by a system administrator
or an equivalent personnel.
The internal supplier is used for multi-site ordering and inventory refilling. If multi-site ordering or
inventory refilling is used, the locations executing internal deliveries must be registered as internal
suppliers.
Prerequisites
- Basic data must be defined in the Purchase/General sub-tab in the Supplier page.
- If using internal supplier, a site must be entered in the Site page.
System Effects
- If an expiration date has been entered, the supplier will be inactivated in the IFS/Purchasing
component's supplier record at the defined date.
- A document text with a suitable output type that has been linked to the supplier will be transferred as the
default value to any of the supplier's subsequent purchase orders. Output types, phrases, and document
phrases are all managed in the Document Text Administration page.
- The information entered will be set as default when a purchase order is entered for the specific
supplier.
- If receipt reference reminders are used, you will be reminded to enter a receipt reference when registering
arrivals and direct deliveries from the supplier. If the user chooses to perform the receipt without entering a
receipt reference, you will be notified through an event. The Arrival_Without_Receipt_Ref event can be used for
this notification.
- If the Print Amounts incl. Tax option is enabled, prices inclusive of tax will be printed on purchase
order documents such as the order confirmation reminder, supplier agreement report, and purchase part
report.
- If any of the options in the E-mail area in the Supplier/Purchase/Misc Supplier Info tab
are enabled, then in the automatic order processing, an e-mail relevant to the option enabled, is sent to the
supplier.
