Supplier

This component runs the Supplier (SUS) function and allows you to set up and maintain supplier details.

Suppliers are used throughout SunSystems. In SunSystems Order Fulfilment, purchase orders and invoices can be entered for suppliers. In Financials, suppliers are used indirectly because they are linked to an associated creditor/payables or client account.

Note: There is a large amount of information that can be maintained for each supplier, some of which is only required if you are using Order Fulfilment. In addition to the predefined details, a supplier may have up to ten analysis codes. You can use these analysis codes to maintain other useful information. For example, you might establish analysis dimension to record product group code to enable you to identify the type of products supplied by the supplier. A creditor/payables account may also have up to ten analysis codes and these may be totally different to the ten supplier analysis codes.

Whilst you can use this component to create and maintain supplier accounts, only the Account and Account Analysis details are available here. If you require finer control of supplier accounts, for example, the entry of Tax or Currency details, you must use the Accounts component methods to import or extract this data.

For multi-line entry in a text field, the XML input payload should include where the linefeed carriage return is required. In order to view the resultant multi-line entry the associated form must be set to multi-line entry.
