Use

You can have the system suggest the best supplier for each article in a promotion.

Although considered part of subsequent processing, this is an optional feature which is not automatically invoked by the system, and can be used independently of the other subsequent processing functions.

Features

Once you have created a promotion and saved it, you can then invoke supply source determination. Each article is listed on a separate line. For generic articles, only those variants which do not inherit their prices from the generic article are selectable. You select the articles you want, then ask the system to suggest sources.

The system searches for both internal and external suppliers, which may be different for each site, distribution chain, purchasing organization, etc. It displays its choice on the screen, but you can override this, if desired, by entering a different supplier. Alternatively, you can have the system display all possible sources as well as an indication of the system’s choice, and select the supplier you want.

Note

When generating promotion allocation tables, the system checks the allocation table item categories for the supply sources. If a supply source does not have the correct item category, an error message appears and the allocation table cannot be generated. However, when the system automatically determines a suggested supply source, it does not take the allocation table item category into account.
