The suppliers that you have accepted in Supplier Preselection appear in the Supplier Directory. You can call up the supplier directory from the following functions:

  • When you create a bidder in the RFx maintenance

  • In the approved supplier list

  • In business partner maintenance

The supplier directory displays the master data of potential suppliers – such as name, address and contact information - in tabular form.

You can look at the contents - if available - of the product-related questionnaires that a supplier has filled out on registration.

You can transfer the potential suppliers from the supplier directory as bidders or suppliers into the SRM Server System (pushbutton Transfer Supplier).

Note Note

A supplier's data only becomes available for business partner management after you have transferred the supplier from the supplier directory into the SRM Server System.

End of the note.
