Mandatory fields: Supplier

General

When creating, amending, deleting or changing the supplier status, a value must be supplied for Supplier Code - payload element <SupplierCode>.

In addition, when creating Supplier details, a value for either Description (payload element <Description>) or Short Heading (payload element <ShortHeading>) must be supplied.

Nota: At runtime the component validates the payload contents to ensure that the values supplied are correct. Various combinations of values may require other elements in the payload to be specified before the payload can be processed successfully.

Tax Id Validation

Tax Id validation can be defined by means of Event Profiles/Rule Sets – see Administrator Help for details. The Supplier payload includes a flag to control the user response to the duplicate supplier Id message for Amend, Create and CreateOrAmend methods, for example:

<Supplier>
		<FlagOptions>
				<AllowDuplicateTaxId>1</AllowDuplicateTaxId>
		</FlagOptions>
...
</Supplier>

The values are 0 = No, 1 = Yes. SSC defaults to No if a value is not provided. Duplicate tax Ids are supported for Supplier in SSC provided the Supplier.FlagOptions.AllowDuplicateTaxId tag is set to 1; otherwise SSC will abort if the duplicate tax id message occurs.
