If necessary, you can apply unique rules for the whole corporate group, which define the linking of suppliers to control points . There are two possible scenarios:

• You are editing a control point that is assigned to the group of linked control points. In this case, all other control points in the group for supplier assignment will be handeled just the same.
• You are editing a control point that is not assigned to the group of linked control points. In this case, all other control points will be handeled separately. Please see step 11 in the following process description.

If you have configured SupplyOn to link suppliers consistently for the whole buyer corporate group, the user does not have the possibility to change the preselected control points.
