Materials Management application users might be interested in creating a list of their own, preferred suppliers and selecting it during materials registration. This can be done using an ENOVIA application called Supply Network Management which requires the Supplier Network Manager role for access. 

Users with the proper role can create suppliers as follows: From the Compass, go to My Apps, and select the Supply Network Management application or access the application by selecting the Supply Network Manager role. 

Note that we cannot create suppliers directly and we have to do it by first creating a buyer (or selecting an existing buyer) and then proceeding further with the required, next steps.

The application also provides an option to import suppliers from a CVS or JSON file and it includes example files in these two formats as well as a ReadMe text with additional instructions.

In addition, the application comes with a full User Assistance guide.

Users are advised to open an ENOVIA service request for any further help with creating and managing suppliers & buyers.
