How do I view or edit the Vendor ID field for a supplier record?

To view the Vendor ID field for supplier record:

1. Access the Supplier Enablement tab, and then click Manage Vendors.
2. Choose Actions > View/Edit Details next to the supplier.
3. Go to the Vendor Details tab.

Notice that you can't edit the Vendor ID field, but you can edit other fields. This value is a unique identifier for the supplier record.

To update the Vendor ID value for a supplier:

1. Access the Supplier Enablement tab, and then click Active Relationships.
2. Search for the supplier you want to edit.
3. Choose More Actions > Edit next to the supplier.
4. Edit or add the Private ID field (equivalent to the Vendor ID field) in Enter Supplier identifiers for the procurement application and click Save.

Note: Changing the Private ID creates a new supplier record, and you need to delete the old supplier record.

To complete the process, delete the old supplier record in the Manage Vendors section:

1. Choose the box next to the old supplier record (the one with the old Vendor ID value).
2. Choose Actions > Delete Vendor.
3. Click Delete, and then click Done to confirm the deletion.
4. Go to the Manage Vendors section to refresh the view.

Notice that the old supplier record disappears from view.
