This setup helps:
Streamline order management by assigning only relevant materials to each sub supplier.
Improve accountability by clearly defining roles and responsibilities.
Ensure accurate procurement by linking sub suppliers to specific material types they handle.
Simplify tracking and communication between main suppliers and sub suppliers.
