What is a Preferred Vendor?

A preferred Vendor is classified as a favorite Vendor due to products or services they provide. If a Vendor is classified as preferred, a user can select them from the Vendor list when adding items to an Order Request. 

When importing Vendors, they are automatically classified as preferred. Click here for instructions on How to Import Vendors into Procurify.

At the current time, it is not possible to mass tag vendors as non-preferred. The Vendor will need to be manually tagged as preferred or non-preferred. Click here for instructions on How to Set a Vendor as Preferred or Non-Preferred. 

Checkout and PunchOut Vendors cannot be made into preferred Vendors. The four Vendors (Amazon, Fisher Scientific, McMaster & CDW) associated with the Supplier Portal, have a streamlined process for ordering. This essentially makes them preferred Vendors automatically.
