Verify the supplier's identity#

The “View suppliers” permission allows inspection; “Create and manage suppliers” allows changes. Have verified supplier contact and billing details.

Add a supplier record#

  1. 1
    Open Suppliers and search for the party first.
  2. 2
    Create a supplier only if one does not already exist; enter the available contact and billing details.
  3. 3
    Save and review the detail before creating a purchase order or bill.
  4. 4
    Open the saved supplier and verify contact and payment details against approved paperwork.
  5. 5
    Create a draft purchase order only after confirming the right supplier is selected.

If a supplier appears twice, review linked orders and bills before changing the records.

Use the supplier on an order#

Supplier master data supports purchasing and bills. A supplier record alone does not create AP; posting a bill does.

WARNING: Confirm supplier identity and payment information before using it on a bill or payment; posted source documents retain their own details.
