Entering Supplier Identifying Information

To enter supplier identifying information, use the Supplier Information component (VNDR_ID) and the Supplier User component (VENDOR_USER).

Use the VNDR_ID_EXCEL component interface to load data into the tables for this component.

Note: There is another Supplier Information component interface (VNDR_ID) used by the Supplier Enterprise Integration Point (EIP) for loading suppliers into the PeopleSoft Payables and PeopleSoft Purchasing supplier tables. You can use the Supplier EIP to import supplier information from PeopleSoft Payroll, PeopleSoft Student Administration, and external systems using XML messaging and to publish supplier information to these PeopleSoft and external systems. You can also use the VNDR_IMPORT application engine process to import suppliers from a flat file into the PeopleSoft Payables and PeopleSoft Purchasing supplier tables. These import processes are described in another set of topics.

This section discusses how to add new suppliers and enter identifying information. It also discusses how to specify VAT registration details and add supplier attachments.

When you add a new supplier, the system prompts you to enter a supplier ID, which is the primary key to the supplier tables; the supplier ID is a unique identifier that you can use to locate specific supplier information. Depending on how you set up your autonumbering defaults on the Supplier Set Control page, you enter either your own unique supplier ID or let the system assign one for you. Each supplier belonging to a SetID must have a unique number for its supplier ID. If you have enabled autonumbering, the supplier ID appears as NEXT on the search page. The system assigns a sequential ID number after you enter the supplier information and save the page.

Note: The system validates imported suppliers when you use the Supplier component interface (VNDR_ID_EXCEL) and the Supplier Enterprise Integration Point (EIP). In addition to delivering the Supplier EIP as application messages, the system can also deliver the supplier as a web service. It does not perform validations when you use the VNDR_IMPORT Application Engine process.

When you are adding a new supplier to PeopleSoft Payables, you must specify information for these fields:

Field or Control

Description

SetID

Select a SetID, or click the drill-down button to look up a SetID.

Supplier ID

If you have elected to have the system assign supplier IDs, Next appears by default in this field; otherwise, enter a supplier ID in this field.

Persistence

Select a persistence level for this supplier. Values are: One Time, Permanent, Regular, and Single Payment Supplier.

Note: If you specify a persistence level of Single Payment Supplier when you add a new supplier, the first page in the Supplier Information component that you enter is the Single Payment Supplier page.

If you are creating a one-time, permanent, or regular supplier, you first access the Identifying Information page.

See Entering Single Payment Suppliers.

Field or Control

Description

Check for Duplicate

When adding a supplier, click to check for duplicate suppliers before you save the supplier that you are adding. You must enter duplicate supplier checking options on the Supplier Set Control page to enable duplicate supplier checking. If you also select the Check for duplicates at save option on the Supplier Set Control page, then the system automatically checks for duplicates when you save the supplier.

When you select the Check for Duplicates button, the system searches for suppliers that are duplicates. If there are not duplicate suppliers, a message indicates that there were no suppliers matching the duplicate check criteria. If there are duplicates, the View All page appears and provides a list of all duplicate suppliers and a link to the applicable supplier component/page. The page is dynamic and displays the field option values that were selected for duplicate checking.

Financial Sanctions edit

Click to validate the supplier against financial sanctions lists (for example, the SDN list). This button only appears if financial sanctions is enabled at the installation level, and the SDN Validation at save check box is not selected on the Supplier Set Control page. Also, this button only appears for suppliers with a financial sanctions status of Cleared or Valid.

Use the Identifying Information page (VNDR_ID1) to enter identifying information for a supplier, including the supplier name and short name, classification, status, persistence, withholding and VAT eligibility, relationships with other suppliers, duplicate invoice checking settings, and additional identifying elements required for reporting to government agencies.

Field or Control

Description

Supplier Name 1 and Supplier Name 2

Enter the supplier's name. There are two lines for the supplier name (supplier name 1 and supplier name 2), in case you're dealing with divisions, subsidiaries, or other complex organization entities that require detailed identification.

If the system is tracking supplier name changes, when a new effective-dated change occurs, the new supplier short name, name 1, and name 2 values are automatically updated in these fields.

Note: An error message is displayed on saving the supplier information, if a duplicate supplier name is detected. To enable this option, select the Check for duplicates at save check box on the Supplier Set Control page.

Alternate Character icon

If you enabled alternate characters in your user preferences and want to enter alternate characters for the supplier, click the Alternate Name button next to either of the supplier name fields to enter or display alternate characters on the page that appears.

Note: This button appears on the page only if you have enabled the option on the User Preferences - Overall Preferences page.

Classification

Select the supplier's classification. Values are:

Attorney: Indicates that the supplier is an attorney.

Employee: Assign this classification to suppliers only if they are company personnel.

HCM (PeopleSoft Human Capital Management): Indicates that the supplier is a third-party supplier from the PeopleSoft Human Capital Management (HCM) system, such as an insurance carrier or taxing authority.

Selecting this value activates the HCM Class field.

Supplier: Most suppliers are suppliers.

Check for Duplicate

Click the Check for Duplicate button to check for any duplicate supplier names. If any duplicate entries are present, an error message is displayed with all the duplicate Supplier IDs along with the View Duplicate Suppliers hyperlink. The message also displays duplicate Registration IDs with View Duplicate Supplier / Bidder Registrations hyperlink if duplicate exists for supplier and bidder registrations. To know more, see Check for Duplicate.

HCM Class

Select a human resources class. This field is available for entry only if you select HCM in the Classification field.

If you use HCM in conjunction with PeopleSoft Payables, select one of the following values to define HCM suppliers. Most of these classifications define third-party suppliers who need to be paid the amounts that were deducted from employee paychecks in the HCM software (benefits and payroll). Deduction amounts from these systems, consisting of both employee and employer contributions for third parties, are paid through accounts payable as standard supplier vouchers.

Garn Pay (garnishment payee): Indicates that the supplier is a garnishment payee—that is, the recipient of garnishments such as child support or alimony payments.

Gen Deduct (general deductions): Indicates that the supplier receives general deductions such as union dues, health club dues, stock purchase contributions, credit union deposits, and so on.

Gen Prov (general provider): Indicates that the supplier is a general provider.

Ins Prov (insurance provider): Indicates that the supplier is an industrial insurance board provider.

Nat'l Prov (national provider): Indicates that the supplier is a national health service provider.

Part Prov (partner provider): Indicates that the supplier is an implementation partner provider.

Tax Col (tax collector): Indicates that the supplier is a tax collector.

Persistence

Select the supplier's persistence. Values are:

One-Time: Select for suppliers you know you will use only once. You can enter only one voucher for this supplier, after which the supplier status changes to Inactive automatically.

Note: A one-time supplier is different from a single payment supplier in that a one-time supplier adds rows to the supplier tables. A single payment supplier does not affect supplier tables and is used as the default master supplier for single payment vouchers.

Permanent: Select for suppliers you know your organization will always use, even if not on a frequent basis. You can create an unlimited number of vouchers for this supplier. The supplier is not purged from the system unless you specifically request that they be archived in a supplier archive request.

See Archiving Data.

Regular: Select for a supplier only if you don't mind that it is removed from the system once activity for the supplier stops for a designated period. You can create an unlimited number of vouchers for this supplier. However, if there is no activity for the supplier by the as of date in a supplier archive request, the supplier is purged from the system.

Note: If you select Single Payment Supplier as the persistence when adding a supplier, the system opens the Single Payment Supplier page, on which you can set up the supplier options that you want to appear by default on single payment vouchers.

See Entering Single Payment Suppliers.

Supplier Status

Displays the supplier's status. You can change the status if you have supplier processing authority defined on the Procurement - Supplier Processing Authority page. Values are:

Approved: If you have authority to approve suppliers, the system automatically assigns a status of Approved to the supplier when you create the supplier. The system does not recognize a supplier as approved unless an authorized payables or purchasing user enters or approves it. Use the Supplier Processing Authority page in the User Preferences component to define supplier approvals.

See Approving Suppliers.

Inactive: If you have the authority to inactivate suppliers you can select this option. Users cannot enter new vouchers for this supplier.

To Archive: If you have the authority to inactivate suppliers you can select this options. Users cannot enter new vouchers for this supplier; the supplier is purged from the system.

Note: Since archiving a supplier is similar to inactivating a supplier—users cannot enter new vouchers for this supplier—you must have the authority to inactivate suppliers to set the status to To Archive.

Unapproved: If you do not have the authority to approve suppliers, another user needs to approve the supplier before users can enter vouchers into the system for this supplier.

Attachments (0)

Click this link to access the Supplier Attachment page where you can add one or more attachments related to a supplier. You can use attachments as a means of capturing additional information about the supplier without maintaining paper files. The link displays the number of attachments for the supplier.

You can upload and view a variety of documents, including Microsoft Word and Adobe Reader documents, as well as Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Access files. Attachments are read only files. You can edit these files and load them again to make changes.

If the supplier is created from Register supplier/bidder, the email ID entered during the supplier/bidder registration will be transferred to the supplier master.

If you remove the primary email ID, a message prompts you to enter the email ID before saving. This is a warning message that an email ID is required to generate the access code. The user can save the supplier master for now and add the email ID later.

Note: The analysis and award process begin when a new bidder submits the bid. At that point, the bidder becomes a supplier. Once the award is posted and the purchase order is created, a supplier ID is also generated with the primary email ID.

Note: If both Authority to Enter and Authority to Approve check boxes are enabled on the Procurement - Supplier Processing Authority Page, View/Update Primary Email link appears and the approver can view or edit the primary email ID.

If the Authority to Enter check box is disabled and Authority to Approve check box is enabled on the Procurement - Supplier Processing Authority Page, the approver can view the primary email ID in read only mode.

The above configuration is valid only if Enable Access Code for User Authentication check box is enabled on the Supplier Request System Setup - General Page.
