RFQ Only Site. Default value for all new suppliers. You cannot create purchase orders in Purchasing for a supplier site which is an RFQ Only Site.

Hold Unmatched Invoices. If you enable this option for a supplier site, then Payables applies a Matching Required hold to an invoice if it has Item type distributions that are not purchase order matched (unless the sum of the distributions by accounting code combination is zero). Payables applies the hold to the invoice during Approval. You cannot pay the invoice until you release the hold. You can release this hold by matching the invoice to a purchase order and resubmitting Approval, or you can manually release the hold in the Holds window of the Invoice Workbench.

Supplier Number Entry. You can enter your supplier numbers manually or let Payables automatically generate sequential supplier numbers for you. You can change the number entry method at any time.

• Automatic. The system automatically assigns a unique sequential number to each supplier when you enter a new supplier.

• Manual. You enter the supplier number when you enter a supplier.

Attention: Be careful if you switch from manual to automatic entry. Each supplier number must be unique. When you use manual entry, you can assign any number and in any order. If you switch to automatic after entering supplier numbers manually, the system may try to assign a number that you already assigned. If you switch from manual to automatic entry, make sure the next available number for automatic entry is larger than the largest number you have already recorded.
