Supplier Stop Status
If the Payment indicator field in the Supplier file contains either of the characters 'Y' or 'Z', the following options recognise the supplier status as 'stopped', preventing that supplier from being accepted:
Where a requisition exists prior to the supplier being marked as 'stopped', or requisitions have been raised automatically for the supplier, the requisition will effectively be suspended, i.e. it cannot be actioned, progressed or authorised. Supplier values and allowed activities are:
'Y'indicates that Payments are allowed but the creation of new Purchase Orders is disallowed, and āZā indicates that both Payments and the creation of new Purchase Orders are disallowed. If payments are disallowed (X or Z) then this will stop the suppliers appearing on the Payment List, Remittance Advice and Cash Required List. If new orders are not allowed this also prevents orders being raised via MRP recommendations, Requisitions and Calloff/Blanket Requisition Schedules, and Supplier contracts. Also new schedules and contracts cannot be created for stopped suppliers. |
