Objective
After completing this lesson, you will be able to Navigate a Vendor Master admin and explain what it represents in SAP Fieldglass..
Typically, an ERP system is used to store and maintain records of an organization’s vendors, called a Vendor Master list.
With a Vendor Master, Buyers may conduct business with hundreds of vendors. A Vendor Master also allows the Buyer to invite multiple new vendors at once, reducing the need to manually enter supplier information.
| 1 | To view the list of the suppliers that have vendor master records in the tenant, select Vendor Master from the Supplier section of the admin menu. |
This list makes it easier to invite Suppliers and ensure their correct association to a Vendor Master record. Vendors can be invited to register as suppliers directly from the list or from the vendor record when viewing the details.
The vendor master list is populated and maintained through an integration with the source ERP system using the Upload Vendor Master function.
| 2 | Use View to filter vendor records by New, All Invited, or Closed. |
| 3 | The vendor master list can be further filtered to view by Status. All vendor records, those that are Closed, vendors that have been invited, vendors that are New, and those that have Registered. |
| 4 | Vendors can be invited to register as suppliers directly from the list by selecting the Checkbox next to a new vendor, then selecting the Invite button. |
| 5 | To view the details of re:CrewIT’s vendor master record, select an appropriate link in the ID column. |
When a Supplier is added in SAP Fieldglass, a Vendor ID is used to associate the Supplier to the related Vendor Master record. The Vendor Master list allows Buyers to manage the list of Suppliers and their associated Vendor IDs.
A Vendor Master records shows the same details that can be found in a supplier record.
