Define Default Supply Type 

Explanation

This activity is used to specify the default supply type for a part. You can indicate how the part should be supplied via the options given in the Default Supply Type field. The available options are; Order, Requisition, Schedule and DOP.

• Order: Order proposals for purchase parts will be purchase orders and not requisitions
• Requisition: Whenever there is a demand for the part it should be supplied via a requisition
