Supplier to Supplier Item Mapping – Overview
The Supplier to Supplier Item Mapping feature in Gofrugal HQ is used to reassign items from one supplier to another.
Business Scenario
For example:
Supplier A was supplying 10 items.
Supplier A becomes inactive or stops supplying those items.
Instead of manually remapping each item one by one, you can use Supplier to Supplier Item Mapping to transfer those items to another active supplier.
Purpose
Replace inactive or discontinued suppliers
Transfer item mappings in bulk
Maintain procurement continuity
Avoid manual reconfiguration
How It Works
Select the From Supplier (e.g., Supplier A).
Select the To Supplier (new supplier).
Choose the required items (or all items).
Execute the mapping process.
The system will update the supplier mapping accordingly.
Benefits
Saves time during supplier replacement
Prevents purchase disruption
Ensures smooth procurement workflow
Reduces manual errors
Supplier to Supplier Item Mapping helps maintain uninterrupted supply chain operations when vendor changes occur.
How to Perform Supplier to Supplier Item Mapping in HQ
To reassign items from one supplier to another in Gofrugal HQ:
Navigate to BPM > Purchase Management > Supplier Settings > Supplier to supplier item mapping.
Choose the From Supplier (e.g., the inactive or discontinued supplier) from the list.
Click the Go button. All the mapped items will be displayed on the right for review and confirmation.
Note: You can apply Category Filters to narrow down the item list while performing Supplier to Supplier Item Mapping.
This helps you quickly identify and remap specific groups of items instead of reviewing the entire list.
Choose the To Supplier (the new active supplier) to whom the items need to be mapped.
Select the required Supplier Type from the list:
Main – Sets the selected supplier as the primary supplier for the item.
Other – Sets the supplier as a secondary or additional supplier.
Click the New Map button.
Once the mapping is completed, a confirmation popup will appear stating “Item Mapped to New Supplier Successfully”, indicating that the supplier reassignment has been completed.
