Assigning Suppliers to TBD Records

Access the Work with Lot Start Workfile form.

To assign TBD suppliers:

1. Select a record on the Work with Lot Start Workfile form and select Assign Supplier from the Row menu.

   Records that need supplier assignment are blue and have T in the Com PS field.

2. Click Find on the Select from Allowed Suppliers form to view available suppliers for the header information.

3. Select a supplier and click Select to assign a supplier to the TBD record.

4. On the Work with Lot Start Workfile form, the system will recalculate the price after the supplier is selected.

Only the eligible supplier with assignment status 1 is displayed in the Select from Allowed Suppliers form.

Once the record has been assigned a supplier, the system creates a copy of the record you selected and changes the supplier assigned to it and establishes a 'link' with the original TBD record. Once assigned, the original Supplier TBD record cannot be re-assigned until the supplier assigned record has been deleted. Once the child record has been deleted and the link removed, the Supplier TBD record can be assigned again.
