Concur Invoice Vendor Manager Maintenance

[Lberry]

Hi Admins,

If you have a separate accounting system for your Accounts Payable processing that has a Supplier/Vendor Master, how do you ensure that your vendors in Concur Invoice remain synchronized with your Accounting Supplier Master? We have vendor integration between the 2 apps and send a 'is active' flag of 'N' when we want to inactivate vendors. 

However,  when we run a vendor report out of Intelligence to review active and inactive vendors, there is not a field that exist that is a vendor status.  There is only a field called, 'Is deleted flag'.   As the Supplier/Vendors masters are highly scrutinized by our auditors, we need to ensure these 2 apps are in sync. 

Any best practices you can share would be appreciated.  Thank you kindly!

@Lberry yes, there isn't any data item in Cognos to show Inactive Vendors. The only way to see your list of Inactive Vendors within SAP Concur is to go to the Vendor Manager page and change the default query to Inactive Vendors. See screenshot. Then if you want, you can export this list to Excel. The Export to Excel option is near the lower right corner.
