Choice of Suppliers

When you order an item, you must specify the supplier from whom you want to purchase the item. You can review all suppliers that provide a particular item and the price that each supplier charges for the item on the Supplier Price Comparison form. The system displays only those items for which:

• Costs are maintained at the branch/plant level.

• Purchase prices are maintained at the supplier level.

After you identify the supplier from whom you want to order the item, you can specify the quantity you want to order and return the information to the Purchase Order Workbench (P43101).
