Create Supplier Order-From Connections

Create Supplier Order-From Connections

  • (Optional) Create purchase order types on the
    Maintain Purchase Order Types
     task.
  • Configure the
    Order-From Supplier Connection Event
     business process in the Suppliers functional area.
You can manage multiple ordering sites for a main supplier by using supplier order-from connections. Set up default order-from connections to populate requisitions and purchase orders.
Users who create requisitions can edit the
Order-From Connection
 field when it pertains to noncatalog items or purchase items.
  1. Access the
    Edit Order-From Connections
     task.
  2. As you complete the task, consider:
    Option Description
    Default for PO Type
    Workday displays this column when you create purchase order types.
    Default Remit-to Connection
    Select a value to populate on the supplier invoice resulting from purchase orders and receipts.
    Alternate Name
    Select an alternate name for the order-from connection so that the:
    • Connection Purchase Order Name
       displays on printed and electronic purchase orders.
    • Connection Integration Name
       associates an EDI or XML integration reference ID to an order-from connection.
    • Reference Name
       helps you identify the supplier.
    For purchase orders, Workday populates these fields based on the order-from connection, instead of the supplier:
    • Default PO Issue E-mail
    • PO Issue Option
    • Shipping Method
    • Shipping Terms
