Get started using the SAP Vendor Management app

The SAP Vendor Management app is part of the SAP Procurement solution for Microsoft Power Platform. It allows you to do several functions in SAP quicker and easier than using SAP GUI. You can view, update, and create a vendor.

Watch the demo

Watch the demo to see how you can manage your SAP vendor data using the SAP Vendor Management app.

View vendor information

You can load existing vendor information three different ways:

• Select a recent vendor from a dropdown list.
• Search for a vendor.
• Enter a known vendor payment number.

Select a vendor invoice

You can select a recently viewed vendor from the Select recent vendor drop-down list. Choose a vendor from the list to load that vendor's record onto your screen.

Search for a vendor

You can search for a vendor using known search criteria.

1. Select the funnel icon to open the vendor search screen.
2. Enter your search criteria into one or more of the following fields:
   • Vendor name
   • Street
   • City
   • Country
   • State
3. Select Search to see your results.
4. Select the vendor you want to view from the list of results.
5. Select the vendor number to load the vendor's information from SAP to your screen. If the list is too long, you can filter it to narrow the results by typing data from any field into Filter vendors.

Enter a vendor payment number

You can enter a known vendor number into the Search vendor number field and select the arrow to retrieve the vendor record from SAP and display the information on your screen.

Update vendor information

Once an existing vendor record is loaded to the app, making changes is straightforward. Select the Edit button to toggle into Change mode.

1. Select the Edit link at the end of a row to edit existing purchasing organization and company code assignments. Each purchasing organization and company code assignment can be edited individually.

2. Select Done to return to the main page with the updates or Cancel to return with no changes.

Edit phone numbers and email addresses

Phone numbers and email addresses can be maintained in similar fashion to the purchasing organization and company code assignments, with Edit, + Add, and X Delete options available for each entry.
