Purpose

The Suppliers tab is where the Suppliers, Plants and Mix Design lists are maintained. A given Supplier can have many Plants along with having many Mix Designs. Both Plants and Mix Designs are "owned" by a Supplier.

Warning

Use caution when using the batch reassignment utility on suppliers. Because plants and mix designs are associated with suppliers, choosing a new supplier will force you to select a new plant and mix design. Unless all of your underlying plants and mix designs are the same for the supplier you are changing, you should probably not use the batch reassignment utility in this case.


Deleting Records

Info

The examples below will be using Supplier values, but the same rules apply to Mix Designs and Plants. 

Values on this page can be deleted from the list of supplies by clicking on the 'X' icon located in the last column.

  3. You cannot create a new supplier with the same name of a previously existing suppler. You can choose to restore the old value from the 'Deleted' filter, change the name of the old value, or use a unique name for the new value.
