You use the AR Customer to Supplier Link program to create a link between a customer and one or more suppliers.
You typically define links between your customers and suppliers when your supplier is also your customer. This then enables you to use the Customer - Supplier Contra program to offset (contra) invoices between them and to process checks for trade promotions accruals using the Promotion Review program.
