In this screen, the user defines the Supplier information for payment purposes.

The Supplier Remit-To Directive buttons will now be active:

 
This button allows the user to define multiple remit-to locations for the Supplier.
  This button allows the user to modify existing remit-to information about a Supplier. If more than one remit to address exists for a Supplier, the address highlighted is the one that will be opened for editing.

However, the user still has the opportunity to change the remit to address in the Purchase Order module by selecting another address.   Note:  There must be one Default Remit To address.

Once all of the data entry is complete.  Depress the Save action button. You will be asked if you want to create another Supplier.

1.1.4.3. Edit Supplier Information
 
Find the Supplier Information you need to edit.
 
 
Depress the Edit action button. All fields on the Supplier tab will be enabled for modification.
 
 
All fields on the Remit To tab will be enabled for modification.
 
Note:  The system will keep the address information (on existing PO's) that was actually selected at the time the PO was created.  If you add a new Supplier Remit To address and mark the new address as the Default.  The previously created PO's will still carry the original Remit to (ManEx cannot assume that the user wants to change all Remit To's across the board for already created and approved PO's).  The user will be required to edit each PO that the change affects and update the Remit to with the new default (any new PO's created will properly take the new default). 
 
The Invoices created through the PO Reconciliation module also carry the original Remit to Address information.   Any invoice that already was created and remains on your AP Aging will need to be edited through the Manual AP Entry screen.    IF it was already released to the GL at that time, I don’t think that the Edit feature would be available.  If you are unable to edit the Remit to information via the Manual AP Entry, then you can control the Remit to information that will print on the AP Check, by creating a Manual check through the Check Maintenance screen.
 
If you completely delete a Remit To address any previously created PO's will no longer have a Remit to address to refer to, therefore the remit to information on existing PO's will be blank.  The AP check module prints the checks per the Remit To information that is associated with each PO, so the address printed on the check will also be blank.   So, each PO that still has invoices residing within the AP Aging, will have to be edited and the Remit To information will have to be updated with the new address, if a Remit To address is deleted.    We would suggest that the person making changes to the Remit To Address information is careful before deleting one from the system.  You have to make sure that any record that has already been associated with that record has been processed through the system, and/or updated with the new address information.
 
 
 
All fields on the Confirm To tab will be enabled for modification.
 
 
All fields on the Profile tab will be enabled for modification.
 
 
 
At the conclusion of the modification process, the user must either depress the Save action button or the Abandon changes action buttons.

1.4.2. Introduction for Supplier Contract Mgmt

Supplier Contract Management is for recording the contract with the supplier for In-Store items.

 

IPS inventory is received via Inventory Handling or IPS Upload.   The IPS module is to keep inventory as Supplier owned but is recognized as being available for consumption by MRP and kitting.  When it is consumed by kitting or transfer, a Purchase Order is automatically generated to reimburse the Supplier for the material.
 
There are three uses for the IPS module: supplier owned but stored on-site, customer owned and stored on-site, and internally owned but obsolete parts that the user does not want to affect the books.  In any of these situations a supplier must be established (this means that the customer must also be a supplier and the user must be a supplier if they have obsolete inventory in the IPS location).
 

 

         Tracking In-Store processing through MANEX:

 

·         Add the Supplier in the Supplier Information Module.

·         Set up an In-Store Warehouse and the applicable G/L number in System Setup/Warehouse Setup module.

·         Add the in-stores item into the Item Master in the Inventory Control Mgmt module and create an In-Store Warehouse.

·         Move the materials into the warehouse using the Inventory Handling module.

·         Add the In-Store Contract in the Supplier Contract Mgmt module.

·         Pull a kit (only a kit shortage gets a P.O.)  within the Kitting & Shortage Mgmt module.
