Enter General Supplier Info
Explanation
This activity is used to enter general information for your supplier, e.g.,
default language and country details. As IFS Applications supports a
multi-company environment, then a different supplier ID can be set up for each
company.
There are two supplier categories; Supplier and
Prospect. The tabs in the
Supplier window will be enabled or disabled depending on the
selected supplier category.
- Supplier: If this option is selected, all tabs will be enabled. Changing the
supplier category to
Prospect is not allowed.
- Prospect: If this option is selected, only the
General,
Address,
Contact,
Communication Method and
Purchase tabs will be enabled.
If you are running a multi-site environment between two different companies and should use the INVOIC message when sending an invoice from the supplying to the receiving site, you have to enter the
Our ID at Supplier/Customer fields in the
General tab on both the internal supplier and customer.
The Creation Date field shows the date when the
supplier record was saved.
