Customer, Vendor transfer to APO

[Former Member]

Hi,

When we are working with non-VMI scenarios, do we need to CIF customers and vendors to APO? Somebody said we need to transfer customers to APO only in VMI scenario. is this correct? What about vendors?

THanks.

Depends on your scope in APO

If you are doing scenarios where you need vendors(as in subcontracting)

or if you have VMI or even larger customers with whom you expect to share plans with collaborative planning .... you would want to CIF them to APO

Customers and Vendors are created as locations in APO with different location types
