You can now search for suppliers using their supplier number and view the associated supplier number for a given supplier while shopping in the Redwood Self Service Procurement application.

Search by Supplier Number

The ability to search by supplier number makes for a faster search of suppliers by expert users who are more familiar with the supplier number than the full supplier name.
