Supplier Management Objects (Pilot)
Model your supplier base, the corporate and supply relationships that connect suppliers, product structures, and manufacturing sites to see who supplies what and where.
Supply Chain Resiliency for Public Sector is a pilot or beta service that is subject to the Beta Services Terms at Agreements - Salesforce.com or a written Unified Pilot Agreement if executed by Customer, and applicable terms in the Product Terms Directory. Use of this pilot or beta service is at the Customer's sole discretion.
Supplier Management gives you the objects to model your entire supplier base: individual suppliers, the corporate and supply relationships between them, the products they provide, and the sites where those products are made. This is the foundation the rest of Supply Chain Resiliency builds on.
Objects
- Supplier
- A company or organization that supplies products or components to your programs.

- Supplier Product Relation
- Links a parent product to its child components to form a bill of materials, including the quantity of each component per assembly.
