View and manage advanced trading partner item relationships

Redwood Platform

You can configure the new Trading Partner Item Relationships table to display relationship attributes, supplier address information, and extensible flexfield attributes for manufacturer and trading partner items in a single, unified view. You can display the attributes most relevant to your business, reducing the need to navigate to individual trading partner items or manufacturer records to view additional information.

The following screenshot shows the manufacturer extensible flexfield attributes displayed in the Trading Partner Item Relationships table.

You can also associate a supplier address with each supplier trading partner Item relationship. When creating or updating a supplier trading partner item relationship, you can select a supplier address. This allows you to maintain multiple relationships for the same supplier item using different supplier addresses.

When creating a trading partner item, you can view both the required and optional single row and multirow extensible flexfield attributes. Select Required Attributes to display the required attributes or select All Attributes to enter values for all available single row and multirow extensible flexfield attributes as shown in the following screenshot.
