Supplier Assignment
It is the information that suppliers send to Importers and Dealers about the orders to suppliers that said importers and dealers make to their suppliers.

- Factory, when you process the order to serve it to me, you find that you only have 1 unit available and the other has to manufacture it, then he informs me that in a Confirmation (also known as Supplier Assignment).
- In the event that another piece is going to serve me replacing The one I asked for also informs me, and in that case SIMA creates the replacement if it did not previously exist.
