Product Definitions Base vs. Custom Products vs. Supplier-Directed

What are the different type of product options within Self Authorizations?

Base Products

  • Single Refined-Product components that require inventory and authorization for use in blend-type Authorizations.

Custom Products

  • Configured products where all base and custom components are owned by the same Inventory Owner; they own every component of the full blend recipe.
  • This ensures correct fulfillment and prevents mixing from multiple sources.

Supplier-Directed Blends

  • Blended, custom products where components come from multiple Inventory Owners.
  • A Supplier sets up this authorization to pull base products from different sources (Inventory Owners) as needed.
  • Setting up all custom products under Supplier-Directed Blends provides flexibility in ownership, allowing for ownership of all components, some components, or no ownership within the custom blend. 

Note: Products should be configured as Supplier-Directed blend type unless all components are owned outright, ensuring proper sequencing and the ability to load.
