# Autoplan suggested suppliers and procedures

### Overview

Autoplan will suggest which suppliers and procedures should be used on unlinked plan items. These appear as columns within the results shown on a plan (you may need to adjust which columns you have visible via the column picker).

Additionally, you can group by supplier to see all plan items that must go to a specific supplier.

### Logic

* **Procedure**: Autoplan will use the procedures associated with the part on the part library record. It only uses the first procedure if many are defined for a single part.
* **Supplier**: Autoplan will use the part <> supplier relationship defined on the part library record. Once again, it will use the first supplier if there are many defined for a single part.
