Add New UEI

You can add new UEIs (unique entity identifiers) for a trading partner with which the agency contracts on the Manage SAM Trading Partners page.

1. On the Home page, select U.S. Federal Financials and then click SAM Trading Partners.

2. On Manage SAM Trading Partners, click Add New Entity.

3. On Add New Entity, click Add UEI.

   A new row appears where you can enter the UEI details.

   Note: Alternatively, you can click Manage in Excel and add several UEIs at one time. The spreadsheet contains instructions on how to complete the columns, which reflect the fields in the user interface and include a list of values for fields when applicable.

4. Complete the following fields:

   • Unique Entity Identifier: Enter the trading partner’s UEI. You must enter a valid 12-character alphanumeric value in this field.

   • EFT Indicator: Enter the EFT indicator associated with the UEI of the trading partner. You must enter a valid 4-character alphanumeric value in this field.

5. To add multiple UEIs, repeat Steps 3 through 4 for each UEI.

6. Click Save to save your changes, or click Cancel and then click OK in the confirmation message to close the Add New Entity window without saving your changes.

   The newly added UEIs appear on the Manage SAM Trading Partners page with the status "New."
