Note
Using multiple manufacturer items Purchase requisitions When you specify a multiple manufacturer item in the Purchase Requisition Lines (tdpur2502m000) session, the manufacturer is defaulted from the manufacturer you specified in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session. The item-manufacturer combination can either be approved or waiting for approval. Blocked manufacturers are not allowed. However, from the Manufacturer field in the Purchase Requisition Lines (tdpur2502m000) session, you can zoom to the Item - Manufacturer (tdipu0130m000) session and select another manufacturer code from the list of item-manufacturer combinations that are approved or waiting for approval. When you convert a requisition to an order, LN checks the manufacturer's validity before the requisition is converted to an order. Purchase orders when you specify a multiple manufacturer item in the Purchase Order Lines (tdpur4101m000) session, the manufacturer is defaulted from the manufacturer you specified in the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session. If this Manufacturer field is blank, the manufacturer is defaulted from the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session. LN only allows approved item-manufacturer combinations on the order line. However, from the Manufacturer field in the Purchase Order Lines (tdpur4101m000) session, you can zoom to the Item - Manufacturer (tdipu0130m000) session and select another manufacturer code from the list of approved item-manufacturer combinations. Note When an item is received in the Receipt Lines (whinh3112s000) session of Warehousing, a Manufacturer 's validity is checked on the order date. If the manufacturer is no longer valid on the receipt date, but was valid on the order date, the goods can still be received. You can also manually specify an approved manufacturer for the item.
