Supplier Type
Use the Supplier Type activities (28.20.2) to create, view, modify, and delete codes for grouping suppliers. You can use supplier type to select groups of suppliers for reporting.
You can also define GL purchasing accounts by product line, site, and supplier type in Purchasing Account Maintenance (1.2.5). This lets you separately track purchase costs for different types of suppliers.
