Supplier group
Supplier groups are coming from SAP PRS groups. Not all groups in PRS are synchronized with Convergence : only the most important to you.
A supplier group may gather on or more legal entities : those entities are suppliers and alike.
Each supplier group has its own PRS code, stored in the field "External Key".
In this example, KSB AG is the supplier group of two suppliers : KSB ATRU SERVICES BOURGOGNE and KSB SERVICE ROBINETTERIE
Suppliers
Suppliers is the main type of account. It is also named "legal entity".
Each supplier group has its own PRS code, stored in the field "External Key".
In this example, PALL ITALIA SRL is a supplier of the supplier group DANAHER...
Additional suppliers
Additional suppliers behave exactly like suppliers except that they don't have a PRS code (external key). They are used in some specific cases and remain quite rare.
In this example, FERRUM INC - US is an additional supplier of the supplier group FERRUM.
Prospects
Prospects are a powerful feature of Convergence.
All buyers can create prospects for their own needs : le't say you meet a new supplier in a fair and you want to record a Visit Minute. Simply create a new prospect in Convergence and make your Visit Minute.
Prospects can be nested within a supplier group or can be created alone.
Prospects can then be converted in suppliers once needed.
