You can edit one partitioned supplier at a time.

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. Objects (such as users, roles, and PCards) with the Adapter Source set to ManuallyMaintained are maintained within Ariba Buyer and not updated by integration events. Objects with the Adapter Source not set to ManuallyMaintained can be overwritten or deleted by integration events. For more information, see About the adapter source.

If you click Save and an out-of-date error is displayed, the object you are editing was deleted or edited by another user. For more information, see About out-of-date objects.

Depending on the permissions assigned to you, and whether you are in view or edit mode, you may only view details, or you may both view and edit details.

1. Modify profile information. You cannot change the adapter source or the unique name.
2. Modify supplier locations, as necessary.
   • To create 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 edit an existing supplier location, click Edit and then modify general and address information.
   • To delete one or more supplier locations, click their check boxes and then click Delete.
3. Modify organization IDs, as necessary.
   • To create an organization ID, click Create New and then select a domain (naming system) from the pull-down menu and enter an ID value.
   • To delete one or more organization IDs, click their check boxes and then click Delete.
4. If available, click the Table Options icon, located in the row above the column headers, to display commands that control the display of data in the table. For example, you can hide or show columns of data; group data; or export data to Excel.
5. Click Save to save your changes, or Cancel to return to the previous screen without saving your changes.
   • A log message is created in the database audit log when a partition supplier is edited.
