Get started using the SAP Vendor Management app

The SAP Vendor Management app is part of the SAP Procurement solution for Microsoft Power Platform. It allows you to do several functions in SAP quicker and easier than using SAP GUI. You can view, update, and create a vendor.

View vendor information

You can load existing vendor information three different ways:

  • Select a recent vendor from a dropdown list.
  • Search for a vendor.
  • Enter a known vendor ID.
