What additional record must be referenced before a supplier record can be used for purchasing?

To successfully use a supplier record for purchasing, it is essential to reference the supplier's specific record, which is stored in the CRS624 system. This record contains vital details about the supplier, such as their contact information, payment terms, credit limits, and other essential attributes that define the relationship between your organization and the supplier.

The CRS624 Supplier record effectively sets the foundational data that governs how you interact with the supplier in the purchasing process. Without this reference, the purchasing system cannot validate the supplier’s details, thereby preventing any transactions from being processed correctly or efficiently.

In contrast, the other options address different aspects of the procurement process but do not serve as a prerequisite for referencing a supplier record. The CRS780 Settings involve general configurations and settings for the system, MNS095 Company contains information specific to your organization, and PPS100 Purchase Agreement refers to contractual commitments between the buyer and seller. While all of these components are integral to the overall procurement workflow, none of them are necessary for establishing the initial reference of the actual supplier record used for purchasing.
