Adding services to suppliers

To add services to suppliers:

  1. Select Materials > Setup > Suppliers.
  2. Select the supplier to which to add a service, and then click the Services tab.
  3. Click Add Service.
  4. Specify this information:
    Task
    Specify the work order task that corresponds with the supplier’s service. The system automatically populates the task description, Task Org., and Exchange Rate.
    Catalog Reference
    Specify the supplier’s catalog reference number for the service.
    Price
    Specify the supplier’s cost and currency for the service.
    Tax Code
    Specify the tax code for the service and supplier.
    Preferred Supplier
    Select if the supplier is the preferred supplier for the service.
    Expiration Date
    Specify the expiration date for the service and supplier. This is just a "catalog" date, and the date entered indicates the date on which the supplier’s catalog information for the service should be replaced with a new catalog entry (new price, number, etc.).
    Purchase UOM
    Specify the supplier’s unit of measure for the service.
    Qty. per UOP
    Specify the quantity per unit of purchase for the service.
    Note: If you enter Purchase UOM, enter Qty. per UOP to indicate the unit of purchase in relation to the unit of measure that the supplier has defined for the service. For example, if you hire a supplier to landscape, the supplier defines his services in hours, and it will take the supplier 5 hours to landscape, then enter the code for hours in Purchase UOM. Then enter 5 in Qty. per UOP.
    Lead Time (Days)
    Specify the average number of days that the supplier needs to provide the service.
  5. Click Submit.

    The system inserts the current date in Date Last Updated and calculates Local Price based on the currency of your organization with the following equation:

    (Price / Exchange Rate) / Qty. per UOP = Local Price

    Note: To remove a service, select the service to remove, and then click Remove Service.
