Enter an Approved Suppliers List

Explanation

Use this activity to enter new approved suppliers lists.

Approved suppliers lists define the purchase authorization process to use for parts in a purchase group on a particular site. Purchases initiated from purchase requisition lines or purchase orders can use the approved suppliers list. If suppliers are approved for the purchase group (and the site) in the approved suppliers list, purchases made from that supplier do not require authorization.

Prerequisites

• The site for which the list will be used must be defined.
• The purchase group for which the list will be valid must be defined.
• The authorization template that will be used must be defined.

System Effects

All purchases of parts belonging to the defined purchase group on the site, used on the list, will require authorization. If you have any suppliers that are audited and approved, they should be added and approved to the list. They will then no longer require authorization.
