Creditors (Suppliers) Analysis Codes

NOTE: The Supplier Analysis menu nodes display on the Code Setup menu as 'Supplier Analysis 'n' unless they have been labelled in SUPPLIERANALYSIS1-6 (6 Fields), (All Users)

In this example; Supplier Analysis 1 has been labelled Supplier Type; Supplier Analysis 2 is Region and Supplier Analysis 3 is Electronic Pay Flag. Supplier Analysis 4 has been labelled Supplier Chain; Supplier Analysis 5 is Brand Within Chain; and Analysis 6 is labelled Internal Rating.

Using these codes in Suppliers (Creditors) enables reporting to be selectively based on them. The analysis codes can be used in a wide variety of standard booking reports as well as in the Excel based analysis reports.
