Supply Chain › Reachable by link

Supplier Sites

The address you order from is almost never the one you pay. Each site carries its purposes as independent flags.

Where to find it

Module: Supply Chain
Group: More
Section: Reachable by link
Screen: Supplier Sites

Address in the console: /scm/supplier-sites

List · 10 columns · 25 fields on its form · 3 of them required

This screen carries no tile on the module page. It is reached from the record it belongs to, from a saved view, or by its address.

The rules that apply here

Everything on this screen obeys the platform rules rather than rules of its own. The ones worth knowing before you use it:

Narrowing a list — search, conditions, sort, totals, export and saved views.
What may be changed — the five grounds a record may not be edited on.
Companies and business units — what the switcher above this list is doing to it.
Creating a record — required fields, where choices come from, and how the number is allocated.
Importing a spreadsheet — this screen accepts one, and it runs through the same rules as typing.
