How do I change the name of a supplier organization in SLP?

There are two ways to change the name of a supplier organization in SLP:

1. Via import, under Manage > SM Administration > Data import or export > File Type: > Suppliers
2. Within the Supplier Registration Questionnaire via a question mapped to vendor.vendorInfo.name1

Option 1 is the suggested method for buyers needing to update the organization name for their suppliers.
However, option 2 is the suggested method to allow suppliers to maintain their own organization name within the customers site, with changes to this name subject to the Registration Update approval flow.

To change the name of a supplier through option 1, do the following:

1. Go to Manage > SM Administration > Data Import or export, and select File type: Suppliers.
2. Click Export, next to Export your currently available data.
3. Open the file in a text editor or a spreadsheet editor like Microsoft Excel, remove all lines from it except for the top one (the header) and the line of the supplier you want to change.
4. Change the info you want in the line of the supplier, in the correct order specified in the header, and save the file.
5. In the same screen where you exported the suppliers file, click Choose File, next to Choose file to import, search for the file you just saved and select it.
