Catalyse: Supplier Creation and Contact

Introduction and Context

Please find below an important update regarding a modification in the vendor creation process.

1. Vendor Creation Modification (Contact Management)

The general vendor creation procedure remains unchanged. Only the contact management section has been specifically updated to ensure targeted and correct sending to the primary commercial contact.

• Previous Issue:
  • Historically, the presence of multiple contacts designated as "Commercial Contact" led to random and poorly managed order sending.
• New Rule:
  • It is now possible to select one single and unique "Commercial Contact" per vendor file.
  • If additional contacts need to be added, it is mandatory to assign them a different role.
  • A blocking error message has been implemented to require the user to adjust the contact roles before finalizing the creation.
