Set Up Supplier Contact Linking

Set Up Supplier Contact Linking

You can link a single supplier contact to multiple supplier records to access and manage source-to-pay information across all associated suppliers using 1 account.
When you link a supplier contact in Workday, Workday Strategic Sourcing (WSS) displays the contact under the source supplier, not the linked supplier. You can view the contact and the managing supplier on the
Supplier Contact
 tab in Workday.
To provide access to both WSS and Workday Procurement for a linked supplier, you must maintain 2 separate contact records. This setup requires an active linked contact for procurement and a synced contact from WSS for sourcing.
  1. Access the supplier in Workday.
  2. Add or edit the contact:
    • For new supplier contacts, click
      Add
      on the
      Supplier Contact
       tab and enter the details.
    • For existing contacts, click
      Edit
      on the supplier contact.
  3. Navigate to the
    Manage Additional Suppliers
     tab.
  4. Search for and add the suppliers you want to link.
    5. You can’t link inactive suppliers.
  5. Click
    Ok
    .
