Supplier Master Data and Vendor Onboarding Management

Duplicate vendors, banking detail fraud and incomplete supplier records quietly undermine procurement across many African organisations. This course puts supplier master data and structured vendor onboarding at the centre of clean, controlled buying. Delegates learn to design onboarding workflows, verify banking details and keep the vendor database accurate over time.

What you will be able to do

  • Design a vendor onboarding workflow with clear approval gates.
  • Verify supplier banking details to prevent payment diversion fraud.
  • Collect and validate tax, registration and compliance documents.
  • Prevent and clean up duplicate and dormant vendor records.
  • Set data standards and ownership for the supplier master file.
  • Build periodic reviews that keep vendor records current and accurate.
