Ship To Supplier Location Supplier Order Location Setup

The next level of control is provided by defining the supplier order location for each ship to location. The ship to location is based on the requester and buyer setups that include ship to location defaults for the requisition and purchase order.

One supplier ordering location for each supplier is defined for each ship to location. You can have more than one supplier for each ship to location but only one order location per supplier. This default system is not item-specific, but rather ship to location specific. This setup can require a large effort depending on the quantity of suppliers and ship to locations that you have.

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. The system then accesses the ship to location 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.
