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.
