To process a vendor agreement online

  1. Create a vendor agreement line on Vendor Agreement Line (PO25.6).
    Note: Changes to these fields must be entered on Item Master (IC11.1) after the item has been added.
  2. Select the procurement group, vendor agreement, and optionally distribution code and company. Select a distribution company when a full account unit is entered.
  3. Decide how to update the vendor agreement line. The line actions available are:

    • Add (lets you add an agreement line)

    • Add/Create Item (adds an item master record if no item master record is found)

    • Change (allows you to change information on the agreement line)

    • Delete (deletes the agreement line)

    • Close Commitment (closes or erases any remaining commitments for this agreement line)

    • Hold (puts the agreement line on hold)

    • Remove Hold (removes the hold from the agreement line)

  4. Select Item Detail to access Vendor Agreement Line-Item Detail (PO25.8). Use this subform to add detail agreement line information to create item master records, vendor item records, and UPC, SKU, UPN, NDC, GTIN, and manufacturing item number identifier records.
  5. Click the Attributes button to assign values to an item attribute. Item Attributes (IC56.1) displays.
    Note: You can assign values to item attributes after at least one line has been added to the vendor agreement. For more information on item attributes, see the Inventory Control User Guide.
  6. To select which line of the agreement setup have actual commitments, select the Activity tab and select the commitment you want to assign an actual commitment to.
  7. Check the status of the agreement and of each line you make a change to. Once an agreement is released its lines are released as well.
