How can I update the ERP vendor ID of an existing non-integrated supplier in SLP?

Using the feature Enable Supplier Import updating erpVendorId, you can update the ERP vendor ID for an existing supplier.

1. Navigate to Manage > SM Administration > Data Import/Export > Suppliers.
2. Click Export, open the existing Suppliers.csv file.
3. In the column erpVendorId, modify numbers as needed and click Save. (We strongly recommend that you create a new file containing only the header and the lines for the suppliers that you want to edit. )
4. Navigate back to SM Administration > Data Import/Export > Suppliers.
5. Click Browse.
6. Select the file and click Import.

Perform the actions in your test environment first to confirm that your changes won't cause issues. If there are no problems, then you can replicate them in production.

Re-importing the file with all the suppliers from a realm will update all suppliers, significantly slowing the import processing time.

The following restrictions apply when updating the erpVendorId:

1. To import supplier data in SM Administration you must be a member of the SM Ops Administrator, Supplier Risk Manager, or Customer Administrator group. For customers who use Guided Buying, you must belong to both the Supplier/Customer Manager and SM Ops Administrator groups.
2. You can only update ERP vendor IDs for suppliers that have an integration status of Not Integrated or whose initial synchronization to the ERP system is in an error state. Once a supplier has been successfully synchronized with an integrated SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA system, you can no longer update their ERP vendor ID.

Manually changing ERP vendor IDs of synchronized (Integrated) suppliers from the ERP side will break the integration. You may need to deactivate the affected supplier and create a new one for re-synchronization.
