What is a supplier request in Workday?

A supplier request in Workday refers specifically to a business process that enables authorized users to initiate the addition of a new supplier into the Workday system. This request process is essential for maintaining accurate supplier information and ensuring that procurement activities can proceed smoothly.

When a supplier is requested to be added, the appropriate details, such as business name, contact information, and compliance documentation, can be captured to ensure the supplier meets company and regulatory requirements. Authorized users, typically from the procurement or accounts payable teams, are responsible for overseeing this process, ensuring that only valid and compliant suppliers are included in the system.

This process streamlines the management of supplier information, facilitating efficient procurement and payment operations within the organization. Understanding this process is crucial for managing supplier relationships effectively and ensuring compliance with procurement policies.
