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