Vendor Manager Screening Status

[maria2]

This might be a dumb question, but what does it mean when the Screening Status on Vendor Manager says Passed? And what does it mean if it's blank? Has it ever failed?

@maria2 each vendor is screened to make sure invoices from that vendor can be processed in SAP Concur. Passed means the vendor can be used without restrictions.

There isn't a failed status, but if it comes back with Sanctioned or Invalid, those vendors cannot be used. I'm not sure what the blank line is, but it could mean the vendor is still under review.

Hi @maria2 & @KevinD, 

Vendors are not all automatically screened; the initial vendor screening process doesn't occur until after the first invoice is submitted for a vendor. So if you haven't submitted any invoices for a specific vendor you wouldn't see a screening status, as that has not yet occurred.
