Create Internal Supplier

Explanation

Use this activity to create the selected site as an internal supplier, with the aid of an existing supplier template in the Quick Supplier Registration wizard. Consequently, the supplier record that is created from a template supplier, will become an internal supplier. Instead of entering all of the internal supplier's details manually, you can choose to use an existing supplier template which facilitates faster and more efficient entry. 

When creating the internal supplier, much information as possible will be defaulted from the site into the wizard. As an example, the site's delivery address becomes the internal supplier's default delivery address. Additionally, information not available on the site but needed in the wizard, will be retrieved from the template supplier. All information defaulted in the wizard, can be overwritten as desired.
