How can I change the supplier site and supplier contact for a requisition?

In some cases, you can change the supplier site from the default when ordering or editing a requisition, for example, when you order from a Smart Form enabled to be user-editable, or when you use the Enter Requisition Line page.

You can change the supplier site if you have selected a purchase agreement that allows ordering from unassigned sites. The Allow ordering from unassigned sites check box is available in both blanket and contract purchase agreements.

You can also change the supplier site based on the underlying agreement's configuration of the Order Locally check box. The supplier sites available to be selected are restricted to those assigned to the requisitioning business unit specified in your user preferences.

  • When the Order Locally check box is enabled for the purchase agreement, the supplier sites available you can select:

    • are assigned to the active requisitioning Business Unit,

    • are created in the active requisitioning Business Unit.

  • When the Order Locally check box is not enabled for the purchase agreement, the supplier sites you can select:

    • are assigned to the active requisitioning Business Unit,

    • but can be created in another Business Unit different from the active requisitioning Business Unit.

If you change the supplier site from the default, you can also change the supplier contact.
