Supplier Business Case
• IKEA is a furniture supplier based in India with stores in Mumbai and New-Delhi. It
also has a Premium Section in Mumbai store.
• Let assume that for our operations in Northern India, we purchase from New-Delhi
store. For others, we purchase from Mumbai store.

Business Units
• Now supposing, we have 2 separate Business Units as B1 and B2.
• B1 procures from IKEA New-Delhi and B2 from IKEA Mumbai.
• However, both Business Units procures from IKEA Premium Mumbai
• In that case, we need to assign Supplier Sites with relevant Business Unit
as follow:

Now Business Unit B2 will only have Access to Mumbai Store and Business Unit B2 will
only have access to New-Delhi Store. But both the Business Units can access Mumbai
Premium Store
Supplier Migration Steps
&
Data Template Walk Through
Supplier Master Data are prepared in 5 different worksheet as below
1) Supplier Headers
2) Supplier Addresses
3) Supplier Sites
4) Supplier Site Assignments
5) Supplier Contacts ( Optional)
Here Supplier Contacts are optional and Need to populate if got supplier's contact details to
upload as part of supplier migration.
Point to Consider
• Site is the most important aspect for Supplier setup because,
it is at this level we can set our supplier defaults like
Payment Terms/ Methods/Priority/Currency, GL Accounts,
Invoice Match Option, Bank Account, Contacts, etc. Thus, we
can have different payment terms for Mumbai and Delhi
stores of IKEA.
• Invoice and Payments are created for Supplier Sites. Supplier
Statement and Aging Reports are also extracted at Site Level.
This ensures that we can extract separate reports for each
Mumbai and Delhi Store at site level as well as see one
consolidated report at supplier level which shows details of
each site separately.
• In most of the cases, Site and Address Name will be the
same but it will be the Site Name which will be visible to End
User while doing transactions and running reports.
