Defining Data and Processing Access

Once a supplier administrator is set up, you define a supplier ID and processing preferences for the supplier administrator user. The supplier administrator can subsequently assign its users access only to the suppliers that you specify here.

To define data and processing access, use the User Preferences component (OPR_DEFAULT).

This section discusses how to define supplier administrator processing preferences and define processing authority(Optional).
