Organizations can define a set of suppliers for each business unit or share suppliers across one or more business units. Suppliers can have multiple addresses and multiple locations.
The free-form address feature provides maximum flexibility for entering even the most complex supplier address. Addresses are the physical addresses of the supplier, whereas locations represent a unique way of doing business. It is at the location level that payment terms and banking information are defined for the supplier.
Suppliers can be associated with other suppliers in the system, and if they are also using PeopleSoft Receivables, they can associate a Payables supplier with a Receivables customer for reporting purposes.
