Steps: Set Up Supplier Order-From Connections

Steps: Set Up Supplier Order-From Connections

You can set up alternate locations for a main supplier so that you can order from specific sites. You can also associate supplier ordering sites with remit-to connections to avoid creating multiple supplier records.
When you create a requisition from a template, Workday overrides your order-from connection.
  1. Access the
    Create Business Process Definition (Default Definition)
     task.
    Select
    Order-From Supplier Connection Event
     on the
    Business Process Type
     prompt to create your
    Order-From Connection (Default Definition)
     business process.
    Security:
    Business Process Administration
     and
    Manage: Business Process Definitions
     in the System functional area.
  3. (Optional) Select
    Supplier
    Maintain Preferred Order-From Connections
     from the related actions menu of the supplier.
    Set up sourcing rules for the order-from connection to populate on requisitions.
