Supplier File additional fields
OVERVIEW
We have introduced new fields on the Supplier file that will allow you to enter your own labels to hold custom defined information. There are five text fields and five date fields available. Each field name can be defined in the Common Purchasing Company Controls and the new labels will be displayed in the Purchasing Controls in the Supplier file.
New integrations fields have also been introduced; these new fields will allow you to identify whether the supplier is being integrated with an external system.
Common Purchasing Company Controls (MPAB)
The fields are firstly defined at Common Purchasing Company Controls. Access the Custom Field Labels tab and enter the required text for each label, each label has a maximum size of 40 characters.
Supplier File - Purchasing Management Controls- MPBD
The fields are then available in the Purchasing Controls format of the Supplier file.
Access the following menus: Accounts Payable>AP Processes>Maintain Suppliers
Access the Pur Cntrl format, there are two new tabs Integrations and Custom fields. Access the Custom Fields tab. You can see the newly labelled fields, there are 100 characters available for each field for you to enter information.
Additionally, the following integrations fields are available, these new fields will allow you to identify whether the supplier is being integrated with an external system either for Export, Import or both. One such area where this may be used would be to show if a Supplier is being used in the “Advanced Contract Management Application".
The fields are for information only.
