Oops - I meant to say DO NOT choose an approved supplier if you buy from a
distributor or off the shelf products.

This is one version -

If you select an Approved Supplier for a purchased part, then the buyer can
only buy from that supplier. Do choose an approved Supplier if you buy
from a distributor or off the shelf products.

An example: You design a Printed Circuit Board and Quality needs to approve
the vendor. You could restrict this part where purchasing can only buy from
the approved Supplier.

You might have a Customer, who only wants you to buy parts from their
Approved Supplier for their customer orders.

If you have subcontractors and have a subcontract operations, you need to
add an Approved Supplier for that operations.

I sure there is more functionality that we might not use.

Does anyone have a good explanation of how to use the Approved Supplier
feature in Epicor?

I'm relatively new to it and our Purchasing and Quality departments
would like to start using this feature (or see if it's useful to
them). I've checked the user docs and they are just not detailed enough
to give me an idea of the entire process.

Thanks
