Region Supplier Location Supplier Order Location Setup

Using the procurement region enables you to group ship to locations for additional defaulting purposes. By defining the Supplier order location for each region, you can override the default supplier order location for additional control, without maintaining these overrides for every ship to location in the buying organization.

One supplier ordering location for each supplier can be defined for each region. You can have more than one supplier for each region but only one order location per supplier. This default system is not item-specific, but rather region specific.

As you create an online requisition or when you source an existing requisition, the system references the item-supplier relationship to get the priority 1 supplier. Once the system determines the ship to location's region, it accesses the region supplier location definition to determine the order location for the priority 1 supplier and uses the order location to derive the pricing location. The system then retrieves the pricing for the derived pricing location from the Item supplier setup.
