Registering a Supplier
Configuration Manager Training Exercise 5

Registering a Supplier

To ensure that the new training center is able to offer ‘interactive projection capabilities’, you are asked in task #6374 to order an interactive whiteboard directly from SMART Technologies.

Open this task and update its status to indicate that you are currently working on it. Next, assume that you have filled out the purchase requisition form in SAP, requesting a purchase order to be sent out for an interactive whiteboard to SMART Technologies. The Finance department quickly responds and you are informed that the interactive whiteboard has been ordered and that the PO number is PO0044608.

Before you can register the interactive whiteboard as a CI, you check 4me and find that a product has not yet been registered for the interactive whiteboard model that was ordered. You also notice that SMART Technologies has not yet been registered as a supplier in 4me.

You will need to register a new product for the interactive whiteboard model that was ordered before you can register a new CI of this model. But you want to link SMART Technologies as the preferred supplier to this new product. So you decide to start by registering SMART Technologies as a new organization in 4me. The contact details of this company are:
