Supplier Management

A key concept of the Vendor Loading module is Load Capacity. This concept involves establishing an agreement with a vendor to guarantee availability of a specific number of resources for a Vendor Loading Group for a specific cost code. These resources are expressed in terms of the number of concurrent jobs a vendor may be assigned at any one time. These capacities are entered into the Load Control Table as shown below and may be changed over time.
