Suppliers

Each object in the Suppliers hierarchy is listed below, along with the purpose of the object type.

Note: The following supplier configurations are necessary for the Private Label Food demo to work properly. If the target system already has suppliers configured with different IDs in the global system set up, existing supplier set ups can be used; however, business rules used for the demo should be modified for the alternate set up.
