Vendor Matched

The Vendor Matched screen shows items that are matched by vendor only when we can't match the provider manufacturer. You're given a recommendation for what the manufacturer can be, and you can choose that or your original manufacturer information.

This screen includes items that are already curated.

You use this screen to:

  • View manufacturer part number and manufacturer name for an item.

  • Select either your original manufacturer information or the GHX recommended manufacturer information.

    • If more investigation is needed, you can move it to the Parking Lot.

    • If the item is ready to be exported to your ERP system, you can move it to the Completed tab (only if you select a GHX recommendation).

  • Export or email items.

See Item Curation Key Concepts to learn more about how curation works.

View GHX Recommended Manufacturer Information

You can view a list of items and apply filters to narrow down the information.

  1. In the Data Connect Content Workbench sidebar, select Curate Me, Vendor Matched.

  2. To apply a filter, select Filter, then enter your filter conditions. The screen shows the filtered items.

  3. To customize the columns that are shown, select Column, then select or deselect the columns you want to view.

Every line item shows:

  • Your original manufacturer part number and manufacturer name.

  • The GHX recommended manufacturer part number and manufacturer name combination that can be selected.

Move an Item to the Parking Lot

You can move an item to the parking lot if it needs more investigation.

If the status is No Org Identifier, the item can't be moved because that manufacturer doesn't exist in your system. You need to add it to your system from your supplier manufacturer tables first.

  1. On the Vendor Matched screen, select the Recommendations tab.

  2. Select the box for the line item you want to move.

  3. Select either your original manufacturer information or the GHX manufacturer recommendation.

  4. Select Move, Parking Lot.

  5. The item moves to the Parking Lot tab.

Move an Item to the Completed Tab

You can move an item to the Completed tab when you're ready to export it to your ERP system.

If the status is No Org Identifier, the item can't be moved because that manufacturer doesn't exist in your system. You need to add it to your system from your supplier manufacturer tables first.

  1. On the Vendor Matched screen, select the Recommendations or Parking Lot tab.

  2. Select the box for the line item you want to move.

  3. Select Move, Completed.
