Field help (BPRNUMSCO)

This field is mandatory. Choosing a supplier determines whether it is an inter-site/inter-company subcontract order.

The supplier is initialized as follows:

• When the version of the supplier is not managed:
  The supplier is initialized with the default supplier defined in the Products-Sites record. If there is no supplier listed in the Products–Sites record, the default supplier listed in the Products-Suppliers record will be used, except if the ITMBPSFCY - Supplier-site referencing parameter (ACH chapter, REF group) specifies that the product-supplier must be listed at site level. In that case, you must define it at Products-Sites level.

• When the product version is managed, only one subcontract BOM code is activated and associated with the major version of the product. Consequently, it is possible to only select those suppliers of the product having the same subcontract BOM code (mentioned in the Products-Suppliers record).

• For those Products-Suppliers records mentioning this code:
  The default supplier, that has priority and is not blocked, and that is mentioned in the Products-Sites-Suppliers record, is the one that is considered. Otherwise, the supplier, that has priority and is not blocked, and that is associated with the BOM code in the Products-Suppliers record, is the one that is considered.
• If no subcontract BOM code is entered on any Products-Suppliers record, the supplier is not initialized.

When entering or modifying a supplier, several controls are performed and various messages can be displayed, according to the situations:

• The supplier is declared to be in dispute. This can be a blocking message or a simple warning according to the value given to the dispute code in the supplier record.
• The product is not listed by this supplier. This can be a blocking message or a simple warning according to the value of the ITMBPS - Supplier referencing (ACH chapter, REF group) parameter.
• The product is not listed by this supplier for this receiving site.This can be a blocking message or a simple warning according to the value of the ITMBPSFCY - Supplier site referencing (ACH chapter, REF group) parameter..
