Default Business Rules

There are three default business rules, one for the external requests and other two for the two internal registration requests submitted from the suppliers and the responsive self service procurement workareas.

These rules are seeded to deliver the registration attributes specific to the flow. These default rules can’t be modified.

Since the default rules can't be modified, you can create new rule set that you'll use to configure the attribute properties. Click to add a form rule and then create a regular form rule that will create a duplicate of the Supplier Registration Default rule. On the new duplicated rule set, toggle the options available under the required, hidden, and read-only columns to change the display properties of the individual attributes. You can edit the conditions section to include condition that applies on your defined rules set. Unchanged attributes will keep the default properties.

For example, you can enable the descriptive flexfields and have taxpayer ID as required for United States. Or, have descriptive flexfields enabled only for external registration and not for internal registration.

Procurement Business Unit, Business Relationship, Request Reason, and Justification attributes are only applicable for internal requests whereas the Note to Approver for external requests. All these attributes are available in Business Rules (VB Studio) and it's recommended to not enable an attribute in the registration source where it isn't applicable.

You can provide default values for these attributes on Company Details: Country, Organization Type, Supplier Type, and Note to Approver. For the following LOV attributes, use code as the default value. To find the code values, access the setup tasks in the Setup and Maintenance work area:

• Country: task Manage Territories. Example: US
• Organization Type: task Manage Tax Organization Type Lookup. Example: CORPORATION
• Supplier Type: task Manage Supplier Type Lookup. Example: SUPPLIER

These contacts and address based attributes can be set with default values:

• Is this an administrative contact: default value – No
• Does this contact need a user account: default value - Yes
