How to associate more than one supplier with an item
By default, a primary supplier is assigned to an item from the ERP.
Alternative suppliers are automatically made available as a supplier option in the planner action detail if there is a record of purchasing from the supplier in the purchase order history table that is uploaded to DemandCaster. As an option, a user may add a secondary supplier as an option particularly if the item is new or has no history of purchasing from the alternate supplier. The following article describes how to add a secondary supplier.
