> Defining and Managing Supplier Information

Large maintenance organizations deal with many suppliers. There are suppliers for parts, equipment, services, rentals, office supplies, and more. The Suppliers form (SMSUPP) is the primary form for setting up a supplier network. Within this form, establish a list of suppliers, create a catalog of parts provided by specific suppliers, list contacts for suppliers, and use a listing of commodities provided by suppliers.
