Configure Approved Supplier Status Validation for Blanket Purchase Agreement Items

As an administrator, you can configure the profile option that prevents submission of a blanket purchase agreement unless the agreement supplier has approved status for the agreement line items that are marked to use only approved suppliers.

To configure the profile option, follow these steps:

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, access the Manage Purchasing Profile Options task in the Procurement Foundation functional area.

2. On the Manage Purchasing Profile Options page, in the list of names click the profile option code PO_ASL_VALIDATION_FOR_BPA.

3. In the Search Results: Profile Options section, note the profile option display name is Approved Supplier Validation for Blanket Purchase Agreements.

4. In the PO_ASL_VALIDATION_FOR_BPA: Profile Values section, select a Profile Value: Yes or No. The default value is Yes.

   • Yes: Blanket purchase agreements are validated to prevent submission unless the agreement supplier has approved status for the agreement line items that are marked to use only approved suppliers.

   • No: Blanket purchase agreements aren't validated on submission to ensure the agreement supplier has approved status for the agreement line items that are marked to use only approved suppliers.

5. Click Save.
