Supplier Management Preferences
Preference settings determine a variety of change object behaviors.

• Some preferences are set at the user level.
To view and modify your individual user preferences, select > > .
For information about the Quick Links menu, see Quick Links Overview.
• Some preferences are set at context, organization, or site level by an administrator.
From Navigator, select Utilities under a specific context, organization, or site. Click Preference Management under the Business Administration utility category.

If a preference is visible but cannot be edited, then this preference has been locked at a higher level.
