Restrict Supplier to Certain Customers

Table of Contents


Purpose

In some cases, you may want to limit a Supplier to only charge for certain Customers freight/warehousing. This is particularly useful if you're working in a 4PL Scenario and need to create individual bills on a per-customer basis.
You have the ability to configure either:

  • Allowing a specific list of clients to use the supplier (whitelist)
  • Preventing a specific list of clients from using the supplier (blacklist), note, in this case, all customers not defined will be able to use the supplier.

Supplier Selection

In the event where a particular job may be associated with more than one supplier (for example, both the Driver of the Consignment, and the Carrier of the consignment are linked to different suppliers), you can use the whitelist/blacklist functionality to prevent the job from being billed to the incorrect supplier.

If a consignment were allocated to a Driver who had no Customer Restrictions, then when a Bill is generated for the driver, the Consignment would be added to that Bill. However, if a restriction existed which prevented the consignment from being associated with that supplier, then it would not appear on the bill and would be available to be added to another bill (for example, the Carrier's bill).
