Creating vendor locations from supplier contacts

Use this procedure to create a Payables vendor location from an existing supplier contact. For more information about vendor locations, see the Payables User Guide.

If the vendor location already exists in Payables, then you can associate the supplier contact with the existing vendor location record. You do this by selecting the Vendor Location on the Contact Information tab.

Before you can create a vendor location, the vendor must be assigned to the supplier to which the contact is associated.

  1. Sign in as Application Administrator.
  2. Select Supply Management > Supply Management Setup > Shared Setup > Suppliers
  3. Select a supplier.
  4. On the Contacts tab, select a supplier contact.
  5. Select All Actions Menu > Create Vendor Location, and specify this information:
    Location
    Specify a vendor location number.
    Create PO Location
    Select the create PO location check box.
    Transfer Certifications
    If certifications exist for the contact person at the supplier, this field is available.

    Select this check box to transfer any supplier certifications for the contact person to the new vendor location.

    The vendor location that you created is displayed in Payables.

  6. Click Submit.
