Creating supplier and vendor compare records

  1. Sign in as Buyer or Sourcing Manager.
  2. Select Manage Suppliers > Compare Suppliers and Vendors.
  3. Select a Supplier Group.
  4. Optionally, select a Supplier.
  5. Select at least one of the compare field sets. All four are selected by default.
    Suppliers and Vendors
    Each supplier that has a vendor number associated with it is compared. Multiple suppliers can be associated with one vendor.
    Contacts And Vendor Locations
    Each supplier contact that has a vendor location value associated with it is compared.

    Multiple supplier contacts can be associated to the same vendor location. If the primary contact for a supplier is associated to a vendor location, then the contact information on the supplier side is compared to the vendor contact.

    Supplier And Vendor Diversity Codes
    Select this check box to compare the effective date and expiration date for diversity codes that are shared by a supplier and a vendor. Additionally, a record is created for diversity codes that are only tied to either a supplier or a vendor.
    Supplier, Vendor, Contact and Vendor Location Certification Codes
    Select this check box to compare the effective date and expiration date for certification codes that are shared by a supplier, vendor, contact, and vendor location. Additionally, a record is created for certification codes that are tied to only one of these fields: supplier, vendor, contact, vendor location.
  6. Use the Custom Supplier Selection field to select a Custom Group to compare a subset of suppliers.
    You must have Custom Groups defined. Custom groups is a feature where you can take a business class and attach conditions to it. Custom Groups can be set up by an applications administrator.
  7. Click Submit.
    All existing records in Supplier and Vendor Compare are deleted and a new set of records is created.
