Supplier Organisation Hierarchies Ivalua

WHAT

Update and clean up supplier hierarchies in Ivalua so they are ready for integration with multiple ERP systems and tenants.

This means:

• Making sure each supplier has a clear global parent

• Linking local / country suppliers to the correct parent

• Ensuring required integration fields are filled in

WHY

Correct supplier hierarchies are needed to:

• Avoid duplicate suppliers in different ERP systems

• Ensure suppliers are connected to the right legal entities

• Support correct invoicing, payments, and reporting

• Reduce errors during ERP integrations and testing

Without this, ERP integrations may fail or create inconsistent supplier data.

HOW

Update in Ivalua → Supplier Management:

• Review supplier profiles

• Set or correct parent–child relationships

• Check required fields (e.g. global supplier ID, country, target ERP)

• Ensure suppliers are approved for ERP synchronization

Validate changes with Procurement and IT before integration testing.

Acceptance Criteria

• Every local supplier is linked to one global parent

• No duplicate parent suppliers exist

• Required integration fields are populated

• Procurement and IT confirm readiness
