Approve Supplier Catalog
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. The supplier catalog is
normally uploaded from a file, either by the procurement department or directly by the supplier, but can also be
entered manually.
Use this activity to approve a catalog for use in the self-service procurement solution.
Prerequisites
- You must have a supplier catalog revision in status Planned with at least one active product
line.
System Effects
- The status of the catalog revision will be set to Approved, which means that the catalogs
can be used in the self-service solution. Only products from suppliers catalogs in status
Approved are available in the self-service procurement portal.
- Any previously approved revision for the same catalog will be set to status Obsolete and
will be replaced by the new approved revision. Only one revision of the catalog can be in status
Approved at a time.
