Creating supplier catalogs

Suppliers might organize their products into different catalogs due to seasonal changes in products, different product lines, and so forth. If you maintain items in catalogs in the system, you can use the catalogs to locate and select items to order.

Getting ready

Set up the processing options for the Supplier Catalog Maintenance program (P41061).

How to do it...

  1. Select Procurement and Subcontract Management | Daily Processing | Stock Based Purchasing | Price Management, and then click on Supplier Catalog Maintenance (P41061).
  2. Click on Add.
    How to do it...
  3. Enter the Supplier.
  4. Click the visual assist button next to the Catalog.
  5. On the Select User Defined Code tab, select Revisions from the Form menu.
  6. On the Supplier Catalog Revisions tab, enter the Item Number, Currency Code, Unit Price, UOM, and Quantity Break.

How it works...

After you locate a catalog, you can select the items that you want to order. The system enters each item that you select on an order detail line, along with the unit price for the item as specified in the catalog. On the Catalogs - Item Selection form, you can use a Form exit to preview item information. Note that an item can have different prices, depending upon the amount that you purchase. You can review all item prices for the items in a catalog on the Catalogs - Item Selection form. An item that has multiple prices will appear several times, and each instance represents a different purchase quantity and the price that applies to that quantity.

There's more...

If the supplier has an internet home page set up with items that it offers, you can preview item information in the electronic catalog.
