Supplier Audit Report

Use the Supplier Audit Report to help identify potential duplicate suppliers. For example, you enter a supplier named Oracle Corporation, and another supplier named Oracle Corp. This report lists active suppliers whose names are the same up to a specified number of characters. The report ignores case, spaces, special characters, etc.

You may want to run the report with different parameters to fine tune your search. Specify a length short enough to identify duplicates, such as Comco and Comco, Inc., but long enough to avoid obviously different supplier names, such as General Instruments and General Electric.

The report lists all site names and addresses of each potential duplicate supplier. Payables inserts a blank line between groups of possible duplicate suppliers. Review the report to determine which suppliers are duplicates. After you have identified duplicate suppliers, you can combine them using Supplier Merge.
