Using Online Help

A supplier is a business associate who supplies the required material according to the specification specified by the organization unit. Each supplier is registered with a unique code and other supplier details in an organization unit. After registration, the supplier details are made available across organization units that interact with the logged-on  organization unit.

This page allows you to retrieve the details of the supplier who is already registered in the “Register Supplier” activity of the “Supplier” business component. You can carry out a search using the supplier number, name, SITA / ARINC, SPEC 2000, supplier type, supplier category, part number, city, state and country to which the supplier belongs.
