Creating and editing supplier catalogs

Supplier catalogs are usually imported to Impact Ordering. However, if a separate basic contract has been created for the freeform order from one supplier, because of different conditions, a 'generic catalog' for freeform orders from this supplier has to be created. This catalog can then be assigned to the basic contract, because a basic contract always has to be assigned to a catalog. Manually entered supplier catalogs are also necessary for external catalogs. For further information please refer to Catalog types.

  1. On the page Catalog administration click the link Supplier catalogs.

    The page Supplier catalogs is displayed.

  2. Click :
    • the button New entry, to create a new supplier catalog.
    • the icon , to edit an existing supplier catalog.

    The page Catalog will be displayed. Please select the menu item Help for detailed information about this page.

  3. Select the supplier from the list Suppliers and enter a name for the catalog in the field Name.
  4. Fill the other fields if necessary. Select the menu item Help to display detailed information about these fields.
  5. In the field Attributes you can assign attributes to the catalog that have been created by an administrator.
  6. If you want to approve changes to the catalog before its release, activate the option Approve changes automatically. For further information about approval please see Compare and approve catalogs.
  7. Activate the option Create user catalog.

    Note: If you do not activate this option, the catalog is only visible for the system administrator and cannot be used in the system.
