The creation of vendors can lead to expenditure being spread over more vendors thus increase managements costs and decreasing the concentration of expenditure, reducing bargaining power. To overcome this, I am proposing a feature to add workflow to the creation of a vendor.

Hi Development Team,My name is Quinn, and I am part of the Microsoft Support team. Recently, we have been receiving a growing number of cases from customers expressing concerns in utilizing the New Vendor Creation Approval Workflow feature. Upon further investigation, it became evident that this interest is also shared by other customers on platforms such as Yammer and the Microsoft Idea Portal.In light of the widespread demand and potential benefits of this feature, I believe its implementation is critical and could significantly enhance our offerings. Therefore, I am seeking your consideration for the inclusion of this feature in your future development roadmap.Thank you for considering this request. I anticipate your acknowledgement and hope we can collaboratively meet customer needs.Best regards,Quinn

When Microsoft will consider this important idea? It helps to be compliant as well. Auditors ask to have a workflow for vendor creation. The onboarding should be improved in order to use it for internal purpose and not only for external.No make sense to have an approval workflow for few fields that changes in vendor master table and not have a wf for vendor creation.

We had to develop this workflow for new vendor creation for one of our customer. Now that we start a new project, this feature is requested again.The onboarding workflow is not sufficient, only few vendors use the portal.When could this be available?Thanks

Critical feature to include. We made customization on different projects.
- same for Customer creation (not only supplier).
- configure also workflow on all field modification.

Hi Mai,
An internal vendor creation workflow is important for more reasons than just reducing the number of vendors and increasing bargaining power. We have multiple customers that must demonstrate separation of duties in order to prevent fraud. Ideally, one person would create a vendor in an on hold state, and then one or more people would approve it before the vendor can be used. Let me know if you have any questions.
Best regards,
Jacob

This has been introduced in version 8.1 and is a very nice feature. It would be great if was made possible to add all vendor fields to be tracked by workflow, not a limited set. Another improvement would be if the workflow kicks in directly when creating a new customer or vendor. Currently (version 8.1) it only works on change.

Thank you for your feedback. This is a great suggestion! We will consider this in our roadmap.
Updated 06-05-2019: I assume you refer to an internal process of an employee raising a request for onboarding a vendor and submitting that to an "internal" workflow enabled process, and not the current available process:
There is a "new vendor onboarding" process in the system where a contact person from the vendor is invited to fill out a wizard with information that is used in creating the vendor. And that is submitted to a workflow enabled process that ends up in creating a new vendor.
Sincerely,
Mai Kirknel
