Creating Supplier and Item Relationships

Access the Supplier/Item Relationships form.

Certification Status

Enter a value from the Certification Status (43/CR) UDC that indicates whether the supplier is certified to sell this item. The code that you enter determines how the system manages orders that you enter for the supplier and item. Values are:

Blank: You can place orders for the item from the supplier.

1: The system prohibits you from purchasing this item from the supplier.

2: The system displays a warning message if you enter an order for this item from the supplier.

Normal Route Code

Enter a value from the Route Codes (43/RC) UDC that identifies a receipt route. Each receipt route consists of a series of operations through which the system directs items upon receipt.

Alt Route Code (alternate route code)

Enter a value from the Route Codes (43/RC) UDC that identifies an alternate receipt route. Each receipt route consists of a series of operations through which the system directs items upon receipt.

An item can have a normal receipt route and an alternate receipt route. The system directs an item through the alternate receipt route intermittently based on the number of days or number of receipts that you specify.

Route Type Code

Enter a value from the Route Type Code (43/RY) UDC that qualifies the routing for an Item/Supplier combination. Examples would include specific routing types for Advanced Ship Notices (ASNs) (EDI 856 Ship Notice/Manifest transactions) and for transfers.
