Objective
After completing this lesson, you will be able to create a Distribution List in SAP Fieldglass.
SAP Fieldglass uses Distribution Lists to ensure the proper routing of job postings to suppliers.
A distribution list is a structured list of suppliers that is included on a job posting and lists the suppliers who should receive that request to fill a position. The lists can contain a single supplier or multiple suppliers who can be grouped by level of distribution based on the buyer company’s business needs.
| 1 | To view the list of sites associated to the tenant, select Distribution List from the Supplier section of the admin menu. |
For example, WorkingNet can group suppliers who provide candidates for their network engineering needs under a distribution list called Engineering. They may have more than one distribution list, such as Suppliers grouped by different countries or regions. Basically, a distribution list can be created to support any grouping of suppliers that best supports the worker procurement needs of the organization.
| 2 | To view the details of a business unit, select an appropriate link in the Code column. |
A distribution list is comprised of selected suppliers placed in a ranked order of preference with specific rules for how and when a job posting will be distributed to them.
| 3 | Level indicates the levels that are assigned to the suppliers in a distribution list determine the order in which job postings will be distributed to each supplier |
| 4 | Usage values allow suppliers to either receive job posting automatically or be selected manually during job posting creation. Four usage values can be selected here:
|
| 5 | If a distribution list consists of two or more levels, Rules must be established to determine when an associated job posting will be distributed to the next level. If the distribution list has only one level, rules do not need to be defined. |
WorkingNet decides to create a new distribution list around consulting so that the correct Suppliers receive their requests to fill consulting related jobs.
As the SAP Fieldglass administrator for WorkingNet, you will need to create the new distribution list and manually associate a business unit to it.
