Work InstructionFunctional Area: Purchasing Change Material Master Record

Purpose

Use this procedure to manually change a Material Master Record for Term Contract non-catalog items. This process is usually performed automatically by the TABS Interface. This procedure will be used only in the event the interface failed and the change needs to be in the system before the problem is resolved. This transaction could also be used to make a simple change to one or a couple of items, instead of using the interface. However, it is not recommended that changes be made in this manner. It is recommended that the interface should be used to make the updates unless there is a failure.

Trigger

Perform this procedure when a material master record is not automatically changed by the TABS Interface.
