Common suppliers cannot share the same organization ID, and common suppliers cannot have more than one organization ID in the same domain. For example, common suppliers cannot have two organization IDs in the same domain Duns with different values. Common suppliers must include all the organization IDs of their partitioned suppliers. You cannot modify or delete the default organization ID (with domain buyersystemid) of a common supplier.

When you click Save, your changes are saved to the Ariba Buyer database.

1. Enter profile information. You must enter required information, such as the adapter source and name. New partitioned suppliers are created in the same partition as your login partition.
2. Add or delete supplier locations or supplier organization IDs.
   • To add a supplier location, click Create New and then enter general and address information. A supplier location name is required. If the supplier location has more than one contact, create a supplier location for each contact that shares all supplier location information except the contact name and contact ID. The supplier location is created in your login partition. The adapter source is the same as the adapter source of the partitioned supplier.

   • To delete one or more supplier locations or supplier organization IDs, click their check boxes and then click Delete.

4. Click OK to save your changes or Cancel to return to the previous screen without saving your changes.
   • When you create a partitioned supplier, a log message is created in the database audit log.
