How Vendor Approval Works

A reviewer checks the submitted registration and documents, then marks the vendor Approved, which auto-generates a unique Vendor Code — required before any RFQ or PO assignment.

Why it matters: Every downstream step — Assign Vendor, RFQ, ASN, Gate Entry — references this Vendor Code, making approval a mandatory gate.

FAQ

Is the Vendor Code manual or automatic? 

Automatic, on approval.

Can approval be reversed later? 

Yes, if issues surface later.

Does approval add a vendor to the Sourcing List automatically? 

No, that's a separate step.
