High-Level Controls Implementation: Item Ship To Supplier Location and Item Region Supplier Location Overview

Establishing Item supplier relationships associated with a ship to location or region provides the highest degree of control. These relationships are specific to the item and the ship to location or region, and enable definition of the supplier priority and supplier order location at a more granular level.

The ship to location is the most specific designation, which overrides both the Item Region Supplier Location and the Item supplier priorities and location. Grouping ship to locations into regions provides the ability to override the Item supplier prioritization and default supplier order location at the intermediate Item Region Supplier Location level. Both of these options, add flexibility to the default supplier selection hierarchy.
