Use the Supplier–Item Attributes window to specify additional information for the Approved Supplier List entry, including source document, Supplier Scheduling, and planning constraint information.

To define the supplier and commodity/item attributes
1. Navigate to the Supplier–Item Attributes window by choosing the Attributes button in the Approved Supplier List window.
Additional Information: The Create Local button creates a copy of an existing global Approved Supplier List entry and
makes it local to your organization. The Create Local button is not available if you are already creating a local entry or if a
local entry for the item (in this or the Approved Supplier List window) already exists.

2. Choose the Purchasing UOM.

3. Choose the Release generation Method from the following options:
• Automatic Release/Review: automatically generate releases, but require a separate step for approval.
• Automatic Release: automatically generate approved releases.
You cannot choose this option if purchase order encumbrance is on.
• Release Using AutoCreate: use the AutoCreate window to create releases.

4. Enter a Price Update Tolerance only if you are importing price/sales catalog information through the Purchasing Documents Open Interface.
The Price Update Tolerance specifies the maximum percentage increase allowed to a price for this item/supplier combination
when the supplier sends updated price/sales catalog information through the Purchasing Documents Open Interface. This field affects only blanket purchase agreements and catalog quotations imported through the Purchasing Documents Open Interface.

5. Optionally choose the Country of Origin.
The Country of Origin is the country in which an item is manufactured. You can choose a Country of Origin if you specified
a supplier Site in the Approved Supplier List window. The Country of Origin is defaulted onto purchase orders for this
item/supplier combination. However, you can change or enter the Country of Origin on the purchase order or later on the receipt.

6. Choose one of the following attribute groupings from the tabbed region:

• Source Documents: lets you associate specific quotations or purchase agreements with the supplier/item combination.
• Supplier Scheduling: lets you associate Supplier Scheduling information with the supplier/item combination. You can choose this option if you specified an item and a supplier site.
• Capacity Constraints: lets you specify capacity constraints for the supplier/item combination. You can choose this option if you specified an item and a supplier site.
• Inventory: if vendor managed inventory or consigned inventory are enabled, this region lets you specify inventory control information for the supplier/item combination. You can choose this option if you specified an item and a supplier site.

Source Documents
Note: Setting the profile option PO: Automatic Document Sourcing to Yes enables Purchasing to default source documents automatically if you prefer that rather than specifying source documents here.

1. Enter a unique Seq (Sequence) Number.
If you enter more than one source document, Oracle Purchasing uses a purchase agreement over a quotation, even if the quotation was created more recently. If there are multiple purchase agreements or quotations, Oracle Purchasing uses the one that was created most recently.

2. Select a Document Type from the following:
• Blanket
• Contract
• Quotation
A requisition with a quotation or a contract purchase agreement as a source document becomes a standard purchase order. A requisition with a blanket purchase agreement as a source document becomes a release.
If you are creating a Blanket as a source document for Oracle Supplier Scheduling, make sure the Supply Agreement option is selected for the blanket purchase agreement in the Terms and Conditions window. 
Supplier Scheduling can communicate releases against a blanket purchase agreement only when this option is selected.

3. Choose a Document Number.
If Purchasing does not let you enter a particular document number, it may be because the document is frozen, canceled, or not approved, or the agreement line is canceled. A quotation must be active.

4. Choose a Line Number.
The Status and Effective Dates, if any, are displayed.
If this document is a global agreement the Global check box will be checked.
