If your organization is not using SAP Ariba Supplier Lifecycle and Performance, the SM Admin area is used to manage certain supplier information. Suppliers are imported via SM Admin to reach the SM database. Setting suppliers as qualified or preferred requires two CSV files to be created and maintained: SupplierQualification.csv and PreferredSupplier.csv. These files are required for tactical sourcing, preferred supplier swim lanes, and preferred supplier recommendations for non-catalog items.
