Managing Approved Manufacturer Lists

The are multiple improvements to the workflows for creating and managing approved manufacturer lists (AMLs):

• If an AML contains multiple MEIs, you can specify the percentage that each MEI contributes to the procurement of components.

• You can use the Source Count attribute to enforce sourcing from multiple suppliers.

Benefits: You can manage AMLs with multiple manufacturer equivalent items (MEIs) more efficiently.

Specifying Sourcing Requirements at the Product Level

You can create a Supply Definition where you can collect the approved manufacturer list (AML) selections for every component in a product's structure with a buy procurement intent.

Benefits: You can capture the full sourcing intent at the product level in a single document.
