• How do I upload new vendors in batches?
• How do I edit existing vendors/suppliers in batches?

You can upload new vendor data for multiple unregistered suppliers or update vendor data for existing at once through a Comma-Separated Value file (CSV).

The prerequisites are:

• You must have the Supplier Enablement permissions
• You can include up to 100,000 records in the CSV template
• The CSV file must conform to basic syntax rules
• The maximum recommended upload file size is 10 MB. Your browser might time out for larger files
• You can use a ZIP utility to compress the CSV file before uploading it. Zipped files must have a ZIP file extension and must contain only one CSV file
• ERP administrators should export vendor data from their backend systems in the CSV vendor file format

In order to mass upload or edit vendors, follow the steps below:

1. Sign in to the SAP Business Network buyer account
2. Click Supplier Enablement > Manage Vendors or Monitor
3. At the bottom of the search results, click Upload > Vendors
4. Click the Download latest template version link, save the file, fill it with the data, and then save
5. From the Upload Vendors page, click Choose File, select the CSV file
6. Click on Upload

The system first validates the CSV file. Upon successful validation, new vendors are created and previously imported vendors are updated accordingly.

If the vendor CSV file contains syntax errors, you'll see an error message in the Upload Details table section. Click the upload name to view details and download the error file. Correct the vendor CSV file and upload it again.

For more details, refer to Creating a Vendor CSV File.
