Can Not Change Supplier Type in Create Supplier Page

While Create Supplier the attribute 'Supplier type = Standard supplier' is disabled and can not be changed.

Cause : 

As part of the functional design for R12, only users who have access to 
the function POS_HT_SP_EMP_SUPPLIER can create/update employee suppliers. By 
default the creation/update of employee suppliers is disabled.

Solution : 

As part of the functional design for R12, only users who have access to
the function POS_HT_SP_EMP_SUPPLIER can create/update employee suppliers. By
default the creation/update of employee suppliers is disabled. The customer
needs to implement a few setup steps to grant access to it. This can be done
by either:

1. Include the function POS_HT_SP_EMP_SUPPLIER with the grant flag checked in
the menu of the customized responsibility which the customer plans to have
access to both standard and employee vendors.

2. Check the grant flag for the function POS_HT_SP_EMP_SUPPLIER in the menu
POS_HT_SP_FULL_ACCESS_MENU. However then all users that can create standard
supplier will also be able to create employee supplier.

After making and saving the change as in 1 or 2 above, the system will recompile the menus through a concurrent request. Please record the concurrent request id and wait for request to complete.

Once the concurrent request is completed, the customer should bounce the Apache middle tie server so that the function security related caches will be clear and your changes above can be effective. Users having the grant will be able to create employee suppliers.

If you can not bounce the Apache server, you can clear the caches by selecting:

1. Functional Administrator responsibility
2. Go to Core Services tab
3. Click Caching Framework
4. Tuning in the sidebar
5. Search all caches with Application Name of Application Object Library
6. Select and click Clear Cache. Please clear all of them, not just the first 20 shown.

After this, you can see the Supplier used to process expense payments to internal employees in the supplier type drop-down list in the create supplier page.
