The Procurement application requires the ability to maintain information on each new supplier. The information that must be maintained on the Supplier logical file includes:

 Supplier id

 Supplier name

 Supplier mailing address

 Supplier skill

As a result of creating a new supplier record, the supplier's annual costs should be automatically calculated and saved with the other supplier information.

Orders are maintained in the Order logical file by the Procurement application. The Accounts Payable logical file is updated for each order. Line items for each order are stored in the Order Detail subgroup of the order logical file.

Backorders and delivery errors are tracked by the Procurement application on the Transparency Track Record logical file. This file is compared to each supplier's values in the Service Level Agreement logical file which is maintained by the Contract application. The Procurement application produces a report for the Legal Office of suppliers that are performing outside of their Service Level Agreement.
