Supplier Numbers

Supplier Numbers are required for Supplier Uploads and Tier 1 Spend Uploads. There is no standard format for creating a Supplier Number. These numbers are typically created and maintained internally by your organization.

A supplier can have multiple Supplier Numbers assigned, and there is no limit to the number that can be added. Assign as many as needed to properly identify the supplier within your internal system.

It is important to keep Supplier Numbers consistent across all files and documents uploaded into the system.

Note: If using an auto-generated Supplier Number, it is recommended that you save the number for your internal records.
