Create a supplier

Depending on your configuration, you may be able to request that Accounts Payable create or edit suppliers or sites when you create an invoice:

Begin to create an invoice manually. See Create an invoice manually.
On the Select Supplier page, click Add.

The New Supplier page opens.
Enter the supplier and supplier site information and click Save.

The New Invoice Header page appears.
Enter the rest of the data for this invoice header and click Save.
Enter the invoice lines. See Create invoice lines.
Submit the invoice. See Submit invoices.

SSI automatically sends a request to the Accounts Payable department to create the new supplier and supplier site. The status for this invoice becomes SUPPLIER MAINTENANCE. See Request invoice status. After Accounts Payable adds the supplier and supplier site manually in the ERP master data, you may receive an email alert.
Check the invoice status. When the invoice status becomes SUPP MAINT COMPLETE, you can continue to process this invoice.

If Accounts Payable rejects the request, the status becomes SUPP MAINT REJECTED; contact your Accounts Payable department.
Edit the invoice to use the new supplier and site. See Edit an invoice for more information.
