What is the best approach for enabling large number of matched suppliers into DSN?

Hi team,

After we did the M&C, we found out there were about 50 suppliers already existing on the AN.

Regarding Three Supplier Buckets, we are recommended to request relationship manually for less than 10 suppliers.

• ANID of supplier is known
• Use Search Suppliers on AN Buyer production account
• Add suppliers manually (if supplier total is less than 10)

How about the case: number of suppliers is greater than 10?

Hey Uyen,

If you have to enable more than 10 suppliers at the same time, you can use a vendor CSV file to enable or disable multiple trading relationships in one operation. Details on this is mentioned in the presentation Slide 48 - 49

Hope that helps.

Thanks,

Hi Paul,

I checked you link, in slide 48 - 49, the mentioned method is Vendor upload file.

If we use VUF for matched suppliers, we will have a list of matched suppliers on buyer realm but we cant send TRR to suppliers who are already registered on AN. (system will throw an error message for this)

So, i guess we will be back using Search Suppliers on AN Buyer production account and manually send request relationship?

Or for matched supplier, we dont need to match the relationship first, just simply enabling the First PO from ERP?

Do you have any other ideas? I would love to hear.

Best regards,

Uyen
