Setting up the vendor-saved search for the Vendor-Specific Preferences Feature

Create a new vendor-saved search.

Add the criteria to limit the results of the search. Only include vendors that belongs to the subsidiary you are setting up.

Add the vendor preferences in the result column. The replacement of the subsidiary settings will only take place for preferences included in the search results column.

Example use case:

All the vendors for subsidiary XYZ needs to have departments assigned to them. Default departments will be defined in the vendor record and used during conversion.

Solution:

Setup a vendor saved search with the following:

Criteria: Subsidiary = XYZ

Results Column: [STA] Default Department

Understanding the Vendor-Specific Preferences Feature

  • The feature uses a saved search to identify vendors that will have vendor-specific preferences.

  • If a vendor is included in the saved search, it means that you want to use the vendor-specific preferences found in the vendor record instead of the subsidiary setup.

  • The replacement of subsidiary-specific settings with settings specific to a particular vendor will only be executed for settings included in the result columns.
