      5. Click the Action drop-down (the small black arrow next to the gear icon) for the item to be linked to the trading partner.
      6. Click Edit Item Details. The item details window will appear with three tabs at the top: Item Details, Locations, and Suppliers.
      7. Click the Suppliers tab.
      8. Click Add New Suppliers Item. The Item Supplier Details Window will appear.Picture23-2
      9. Select the supplier using the Supplier Name drop-down.
         Note: If the supplier does not appear in the drop-down list, it must be created using the Create New Company procedure. Picture24-1
      10. Use the Supplier Item Number drop-down to select the item number that the supplier uses to refer to the item.
      11. Type the numerical portion of the purchase price in the Purchase Price field, then select the currency code using the drop-down.
      12. The Base UOM cannot be edited from the screen.
      13. Type the multiplier in the Conversion Factor field that, when multiplied by the Base UOM, equals the Issue UOM (the unit of measure used when issuing this item).
      14. Type the minimum number of items based on purchase UOM that can be ordered from the supplier in the Purchase Minimum
      15. Type the purchase multiple based on purchase UOM that can be ordered from the supplier in the Purchase Multiple field.

        For Example: The purchase minimum might be 4 each, and the purchase multiple might be 2 each. This means that you must purchase at least 4 of the items on each requisition, but a requisition for 5 items must be rounded up to a quantity of 6 because the supplier will accept orders only in multiples of 2.

      16. To prevent this item from being ordered, click the Blocked From Reordering
      17. The Note field is a free text field available to enter any notes about the supplier or item.
      18. Click Save to create the new supplier item.
