Hi,

You can set out certain shipping and packaging instructions in purchase

orders issued to your vendors. When the relevant goods receipts are

entered, the extent to which the vendor has complied with these

instructions can then be noted.

In this step, you specify:

o Which packaging and shipping instructions apply to deliveries of

ordered goods

o Whether the instructions are to be included in the PO document

printout

o Which criteria apply in assessing the degree of the vendor's

compliance with the instructions

A manufacturer part profile contains indicators and control parameters, which define the conditions for using (inventory-managed or non-inventory-managed) manufacturer parts in the procurement process.

The manufacturer part profile specifies how manufacturer parts (MPN materials) can be used in the procurement process.

The manufacturer part profile is assigned to the master record for a firm's own inventory-managed material.

Among other things, it determines whether:

u2022 The MPN material or the inventory-managed material is to be entered in a purchase order

u2022 Info records can be created for the MPN material or the firm's own material

u2022 The MPN material can be changed during the procurement process

Hi,

Purchasing can specify packaging and shipping instructions in the order item.

If compliance with shipping instructions is to be used as one of the criteria for vendor evaluation, it is necessary to check during goods receipt whether the vendor has complied with these instructions or not.

If the order item contains shipping instructions, a box will be displayed automatically during goods receipt where you can confirm compliance with the shipping instructions.

Regards,

Siddharth.
