Supplier Verification
Modified on Tue, 22 Apr at 4:06 PM
Overview
A supplier verification step will segregate the duties of recording data and verifying financial information such as supplier banking details between Support Staff and the accounting team.
Upon creation of a new Supplier and entry of the Banking information, the Supplier will remain in a state of ‘Unverified’. In order for the Supplier to become verified, a member of the Accounts team (or authorised personnel), will be required to review the Supplier details. The Accounts team (or authorised personnel) will receive a warning if they attempt make a payment to an unverified supplier.
If a Supplier’s Banking information is updated the Supplier will once again enter a status of ‘Unverified’, requiring the verification of the Accounts Team (or authorised personnel) again.
How to verify a new Supplier
1. A new supplier can be created via the Directory or from within a transaction screen. See Guide 'Create and Manage Suppliers' for further instructions on creating suppliers.
2. Once created, a new Entity will have a status of Unverified. This can be seen from the supplier screen accessed via the Directory or when creating a payment to the supplier.
3. When creating a payment to an Unverified supplier, a warning will appear under the Pay To field saying that The 'Suppliers bank details have not been verified'. The presence of this warning will not stop the user from processing the transaction but provides a warning that the newly created suppliers bank information has not been reviewed by a member of the Accounts team (or authorised personnel).
4. In order to verify the Supplier bank details, a member of the Accounts team (or authorised personnel) will need to navigate to the supplier from the Directory to perform the below steps. Select Update Entity.
5. Verify the Supplier's Bank Account Details.
5. Once bank details are verified, click on Save
6. Then Click on Update Supplier.
7. Verify the default tax code and payment terms are correct in the next screen. Because you have already verified the bank details, click on Verify Supplier to complete the verification process.
