Detect and Display Duplicate Suppliers

Detect and Display Duplicate Suppliers

  • Configure the
    Supplier Event
     business process and security policy in the Suppliers functional area.
  • Security:
    Reports: Supplier
     domain in the Suppliers functional area.
You can detect and display potential supplier duplicates when you create new suppliers.
  1. Access the
    Edit Tenant Setup – Financials
     task.
  2. Access the
    Supplier Options
     section.
  3. Select the supplier information you want to use to detect potential duplicates from the
    Select Fields to Use to Detect Duplicate Suppliers
     menu.
  4. Create a new supplier.
    When you add supplier information that matches information for existing suppliers, Workday alerts you of potential duplicates.
Access the
Find Supplier Duplicates
 report to find existing potential duplicate suppliers. To remove a duplicate supplier, access the
Manage Duplicates
 task from the related actions menu of the supplier and specify that the supplier isn't a duplicate of the supplier you selected. Access the
Manage Duplicates
 task again from the related actions menu of the alternate supplier to specify that it isn't a duplicate of the original supplier.
Parent or child suppliers on supplier hierarchies are excluded when you run the new
Find Supplier Duplicates
 report. This ensures that they don't register as potential duplicates.
