About printing negotiation reports

The negotiation reports are designed to help you get the best price from your suppliers. There are two reports:

  1. The first one lists all the suppliers for an item.
  2. The second report lists all the items provided by a supplier. You can use these reports to decide which suppliers to contact and what items they supply.

Print negotiation reports

To include an item in the negotiation reports:

Open: Purchase Order Processing > Purchase Orders > Generate Orders.

  1. On the Generate Purchase Orders window, select an item from the suggested orders and click View Details. The Shortfalls for Items window is displayed.

  2. Select the Negotiate? check box.

    If you are using multiple locations, item quantities are shown by warehouse location in the negotiate report. To include an item quantity for a warehouse, select the Negotiate? check box.

  3. Click OK.

    The Shortfalls for Items window closes and you return to the Generate Purchase Order window.

  4. Continue to select items to be included in the reports.
  5. Click Print to generate the Item for Negotiation report and the Suppliers to Contact report.
