Create a Supplier Request
Before creating requisitions, a supplier record should exist in Workday. Make sure a supplier does not exist in before you submit a request to create suppliers. All supplier creation requests will go to the procurement department for approval.
Search for Supplier
- On the search bar enter supplier name and hit enter. When searching for a supplier, be aware of spelling and try using one complete word (not a full long supplier name), search will try to match exact words, so less is more when searching for suppliers.
- On the search screen results may bring no results. Unde categories select All Workday.
- If the supplier is on the system, the supplier name will display with supplier category next to it.
- Clicking on the supplier name will bring you to a screen with more information on the supplier.
