Supplier Management in SAP
SiDM Suppliers
Better data, better processes.
What is SiDM Suppliers?
SiDM Suppliers is an Innova application for onboarding suppliers in SAP through a portal where suppliers enter their own data and documents. It eliminates manual data entry, reduces errors, and shortens setup times through validation rules and approval workflows. It works with both SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA for creating Business Partners (supplier roles).

Validation of NIF and/or names

Reports
Essential reports for analyzing and querying the status of master data. Supplier details, summary of changes and analysis of requests.
Interactive demo
Supplier onboarding by request, with the Business Partner created in SAP
Onboarding a supplier today means chasing an IBAN, a bank certificate and an incorporation document by email, keying them into the master data by hand, and waiting for each department to sign off on its own. With SiDM Suppliers whoever needs the supplier opens the request without touching the master data, the supplier itself logs into the portal and types its bank and tax details, and each approval level completes its own part. With the last signature the App creates the Business Partner and the supplier number in SAP S/4HANA — and the same works on SAP ECC — with no re-keying and no upload file.

For the IT department
Easy to implement
You just need to import the installers and transport them to each client, like any other change in SAP and deploy the front-end component according to your convenience (SaaS, on client web server, Fiori, SAP BTP).
Secure
With the SAP standard authorization objects and some of the App’s own authorization objects, it is ensured that control and segregation of duties is maintained by means of SAP standard user and role management.
No maintenance or support
With the Warranty, Support and Upgrades service, Innova is responsible for maintaining compatibility with the latest versions of the system, as well as support and clarification of doubts with users.

Yes. Attachments are supported in supplier requests, so the supplier and the internal approvers can upload and review the supporting documentation required for the registration.

Both. SiDM Suppliers covers supplier master data in SAP ECC, and Innova also provides the solution for SAP S/4HANA Business Partners, including the Business Partner roles of Supplier (FI and Purchasing).
Innova has SiDM BP which would be the corresponding application to manage the new SAP concept of Business Partners where it merges customers and suppliers in the same master data. If you already have the SiDM Suppliers App, commercially you would only have to buy an additional year of GSA service (maintenance), which corresponds to 15% of the value of the App. Technically, it would be repeating the simple implementation steps, and you will have Innova’s support to migrate the business rules that apply to BP.
