Use this session to maintain item-manufacturer-business partner combinations. In this session, you define which manufacturers can be delivered by which business partners for an item or item group.

Status

The status of the item-manufacturer-business partner combination determines whether you can order items from the business partner that are produced by the manufacturer.

Note

If an item-manufacturer-business combination exists with an empty Purchase Office and the status For Approval, or Blocked, and the same item-manufacturer-business combination exists with a filled Purchase Office and the status Approved, you cannot use the manufacturer on the purchase order line.

Effective Date
Expiry Date
Blocking Reason

The reason why you have blocked the item-manufacturer-business combination for use.

On this field, you can only select a Blocking Reason from the Reasons (tcmcs0105m000) session when you have defined the Status field as Blocked.

Note

When a manufacturer is blocked in the Manufacturers (tcmcs0160m000) session or an item manufacturer combination is blocked in the Item - Manufacturer (tdipu0130m000) session, all dependent item-manufacturer-business partner relations will automatically be blocked in the current session.

Relation Type

Enter a relation type code if you want to reflect the relationship between a business partner and a manufacturer. For example, to indicate that the business partner procures goods from the manufacturer only in special circumstances.

You can maintain relation types in the Supplier Manufacturer Relation Type (tdipu0140m000) session.
