Prerequisites

When you maintain a vendor declaration, you must specify the vendor, the purchasing organization, and the plant. The system then proposes all materials for which valid purchasing info records exist for the vendor you enter.

Features

You can maintain the indicator and the expiration data of the vendor declaration per preference zone.

The system can propose default values for the vendor declaration indicator and the expiration date on the initial screen for creating declarations. This way, you do not have to maintain or change each vendor declaration individually.

When you save the data that you have entered, the system resets the dunning level in the vendor declaration record to zero and updates purchasing info records with the new vendor declaration information.
