Supplier Purchasing Instructions

You can define purchasing instructions for a supplier so that each time you enter an order for the supplier, the system retrieves default values such as a landed cost rule, a price rule, a print message, and so on.

You can use purchasing instructions to specify item restrictions for a supplier. Item restrictions determine which items you can or cannot purchase from a supplier. If you restrict the purchase of certain items, you cannot enter the items on a purchase order for the supplier.

You can define purchasing instructions for a ship-to address as well as a supplier. The system retrieves the carrier for a purchase order, as well as delivery instructions, based on purchasing instructions that are set up for the ship-to address.

You also can enter advanced pricing information by entering an adjustment schedule when you are defining purchasing instructions. Before you enter advanced pricing information, verify that you have activated the pricing constants.

You can activate the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Advanced Pricing system for a supplier when you are defining purchasing instructions.

You also can specify limitations for a supplier, such as minimum and maximum order amounts for a supplier. You can also specify whether you can create vouchers based on receipt information.

You also can specify whether the system prints only prices on a purchase order, or both prices and adjustments.

Changes that you make to purchasing instructions do not affect orders that you already created.
