Where products contain a supplier/product link with the reasons ‘Use In Production Manager/Use In Order Manager’ this confirms that the product has been set up to be orderable and ranged in SAP. The supplier/product link information can be viewed under: Supplier Approval > Supplier Manager > once you have selected your supplier name > select the Accessible Data drop down list > the select Products. 

Enabling the ‘Supplier/Product Links Required’ validation settings will ensure that:

• Users cannot complete manual stock updates for products which do not contain a supplier/product link with the reason ‘Use In Production Manager’.
• Users cannot use the Adjust Stock button for products which do not contain a supplier/product link with the reason ‘Use In Production Manager’.
• Users cannot approve supplier stock update requests which contain products which do not contain a supplier/product link with the reason ‘Use In Production Manager’.
