The system requires at least one supplier relationship within the master data element of the system to be preferred. The supplier that is ticked to be preferred may change or may need to be updated to sites. There are three reasons the supplier may need to be ticked to be preferred:
- There is a requirement to delete the current preferred supplier relationship from the product
- All the sites preferred supplier is required to be updated
- The cost model in the system is set to be the preferred supplier and the supplier needs to be changed.
