Specify Supplier Agreement Statuses that Allow Purchasing
Explanation
Use this activity to set the status option for the supplier agreement. The possible statuses that
allow purchasing are Planned, Negotiate, Active, and Closed. Besides these four
statuses, a supplier agreement can have the status Canceled. You can switch freely
between the statuses in the supplier agreement, with the exception of Canceled.
Below is a short description of the statuses:
- Planned - The supplier agreement acquires this status when it
is saved for the first time.
- Negotiate - This status is most often used when the supplier agreement
is under negotiation.
- Active - This status is most often used when the supplier agreement is
allowed for purchases.
- Closed - This status is most often used when the supplier agreement has
expired. It is one of the final statuses for the supplier agreement.
- Canceled - This is another final status for a supplier
agreement. Once the supplier agreement is canceled, it cannot change status or be used again, nor are
any other changes possible.
Note: This setting is valid for all supplier
agreements in the system.
Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites.
System Effects
The system allows you to make purchases against a supplier agreement, i.e., in a status
with the Purchase Allowed check box selected. For a
supplier agreement to be used, the time period must be valid as well.
