Mid-Level Control Implementation: Ship To Supplier Location and Region Supplier Location Supplier Order Location Overview

Establishing a supplier order location relationship with a ship to location or region provides an intermediate level of control (less control) in the supplier hierarchy. These relationships associate either a ship to location or a region to a supplier order location to override the supplier's default order location.

With these additional levels of the hierarchy, the priority supplier is determined from the Item supplier definition. Once the Supplier ID is identified, the determination of the supplier order location begins with the ship to supplier location, then looks to the region supplier location and finally the supplier default location, as defined on the Maintain suppliers component.
