Custom Tab
Use this tab to assign and display supplier tree and user-defined field information for suppliers.
If a supplier
tree is defined as Mandatory,
then you can't save a new supplier masterfile unless you have allocated
the supplier to a branch in that tree.
You cannot remove a supplier from a tree using this form. You must use the Supplier Tree Maintenance form.
Options Reference
Each option and field on the form is described below. Mandatory options and fields are highlighted in red.
Supplier trees
To assign a supplier to a tree branch, double click the tree to display the tree branches and then select or change the tree branch for the supplier.
You can also
assign a supplier to a tree branch using Supplier Tree Maintenance. The
pre-assigned branch value for the selected supplier displays here.
Supplier fields
Custom fields are set up using User Field Maintenance, and defaults to this table, enabling the assignment of a value. You don't need to assign values to user fields.
If the supplier is linked to a CRM Organisation, Greentree will synchronise UDF fields. This applies the first time a supplier is linked to a organisation, and whenever UDF values are updated subsequent to that. This logic applies:
Organisation OA and Supplier SA:
- For a boolean UDF, OA updates SA;
- For a non-boolean UDF, if OA has a value, then OA updates SA;
- For non-boolean UDF, if OA has a null value, then SA updates OA.
