Power Sourcing Considerations

Here are some important things to know about Power Sourcing:

  • See the file requirements.

  • Power Sourcing checks if the items you uploaded are already listed in the provider's item master, past purchase orders, and/or contracts.

  • Both curated and non-curated GHX master data is identified and returned in results for items in the upload file.

  • Power Sourcing output is in the same row order as what was uploaded.

  • When Power Sourcing by Manufacturer, if the Vendor and/or Manufacturer exists in the Item Master, the results will return the Buyer Part #. The source type will identify the record that exists in the Item Master when Power Sourcing by Manufacturer.

    Example: Cardinal Health Part Number #6715 was sourced. The Manufacturer item (6715 from KERLIX) exists in the Item Master, which displays the Buyer Part # for all records. However, only the first record (Vendor Part #6715) exists in the Item Master and is indicated in the Source Type as IM.
