Large maintenance organizations deal with many suppliers. There are suppliers for parts, equipment, services, rentals, office supplies, and more. The Suppliers form 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, and list contacts for suppliers. You can also associate addresses for suppliers.

You can also create a supplier hierarchy to establish parent/child relationships between suppliers. When creating a supplier hierarchy, you cannot designate a supplier as a parent supplier if the supplier is already designated as a child in a supplier hierarchy. Additionally, a supplier cannot have multiple parent suppliers, nor can a supplier be parent supplier to itself within a supplier hierarchy. For example, you create supplier records for the following three suppliers: AMG INC, HARTFORD BOILERS, and SOUTHEASTERN. To create a supplier hierarchy, you select AMG INC as the parent supplier for both HARTFORD BOILERS and SOUTHEASTERN. Because HARTFORD BOILERS and SOUTHEASTERN are designated as children of AMG INC, neither can be selected as a parent supplier in any other supplier hierarchy, nor can they be designated as a child to any other supplier in another supplier hierarchy.

After defining supplier information, you can update information for both suppliers and their catalogs as necessary; however, you cannot delete a supplier record or a record from a supplier’s catalog if they have been associated with another record within the system.
