Help on Supplier Part / Service Details

You can define the parts that a supplier can supply to the organization unit by mapping the parts and its details to the supplier. A supplier can supply only those parts that are mapped to that supplier. You can map the parts that are already defined in the system.

Based on the system parameter “Part not mapped to Supplier” value, which is defined in the “Purchase Option Settings” activity of the “Logistics Common Master” business component, you can raise an express purchase order on a part that is not mapped to a particular supplier. The part is then mapped to the supplier.

This page allows you to retrieve the part/service details, which you need to map to the supplier or enter TCD details. You can carry out a search using the part number, description, part number issued by the manufacturer, key word identifying the part, part type, category of the part, base part number and the ATA chapter number associated to the part. The system retrieves all the part numbers that are mapped to the supplier, based on the search criteria entered. The selected part number is transferred to the required page, when it is confirmed.
