Specify Supplier Item Mapping

This page allows you to specify the Supplier - Item mapping details. The information captured here can be defaulted in the Purchase transactions. The system parameter ‘Supplier item information override by Purchase transactions’ determines whether information defaulted in the purchase transactions can be modified or not. The system parameter ‘Update supplier item mapping from Purchase Order / Purchase Quotation’ determines whether items mentioned in the transaction and not part of the Supplier item mapping already are to be included or not. Lead time, Supplier Item Reference and its description, Minimum order quantity, Maximum Order quantity, Order multiples, Last purchase price, whether the item can be supplied on consignment basis, and whether the Source of an item is Purchase or Subcontract item are specified.
