One of the most frequent requests we’ve received from campus users is the ability to save and reuse vendor information. We’re excited to announce that this feature is now live in the Procurement Contract Portal!
Think of the Vendor Table as your personal address book for vendors—most useful when it’s accurate, up-to-date, and free of duplicates. While there may be a slight learning curve, we’re confident this new feature will become a valuable, time-saving tool for everyone on campus.
Getting Started: A Few Simple Steps
To make the most of the Vendor Table, follow these quick guidelines (also available in the Contract Portal User Guide):
- Search Before You Create – Use the magnifying glass icon next to the Vendor Trade Name field to search for an existing vendor before adding a new one.
- Add New Vendors When Needed. If your vendor isn’t listed, click “Create New Vendor” and fill in the required fields.
- Click Once – Be sure to click “Create Vendor” only once to avoid duplicate entries.
If you run into any issues or have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to the Contract Management team—we’re here to help guide you through the process.
