Open Supplier Agreement, then populate or query for the purchase agreement
or blanket purchase order you are renegotiating. All of the suggested changes below are
optional and are dependent upon the agreed terms you have with your supplier.

the List of Values. The name of the buyer will automatically be changed.

(or clear) the Group Agreement check box in

delivery terms, ship via code, and payment terms either manually or by using the List of

lead time calculations work.

Values in the Supplier Agreement Group field. The description will be filled in automatically.
