Inactivating a Supplier Resource Price

Supplier resource prices have two possible statuses: active and inactive. Active supplier resource prices are available for use on contracts, purchase orders, and other purchasing documents.

Inactive supplier resource prices are not available for use. When you inactivate the current supplier resource price, or when you activate a price, the system re-evaluates the current price for the supplier resource.

Note: You cannot inactivate the last price for a supplier resource. Instead you must inactivate the supplier resource. For more information, see Inactivating a Supplier Resource.

When you inactivate a supplier resource price the following occurs:

•	Current price selection: Inactive supplier resource prices are excluded when setting the current price for a resource.

•	Preferred Supplier: When a supplier resource price is inactivated or activated, the system reevaluates the resource's preferred supplier.

•	Purchase Order Lines, Blanket Order Lines, Blanket Releases: Inactive supplier resource prices cannot be used on purchase orders, blanket orders, or blanket releases.

•	Consignment Inventory: Consignment inventory cannot be issued if the consignment supplier resource price is inactive.

When activating or inactivating a supplier resource, you can select a reason for the inactivation or re-activation. A complete history of the supplier resource’s status changes, along with the date of the change and the user making the change is saved on the supplier record.
