Reviewing Vendor Normalization

Access the normalization interface by clicking Vendor Normalization within the Dataset Detail view. This module allows you to audit the AI’s grouping logic and finalize your supplier profiles.

Accessing Normalization

πŸ“Š A. Normalization Status (KPIs)

The KPI cards segment your vendors based on the AI's confidence in the proposed grouping. Prioritize your review based on these categories:

  • Needs Attention: Low-confidence groupings with a high risk of fragmentation. These require immediate manual verification.
  • Moderate: Mid-range confidence scores; recommended for secondary review.
  • Verified: High-confidence groupings that are automatically consolidated by the system.

πŸ“‚ B. Vendor Organization Tabs

Use these tabs to navigate different segments of your supplier base:

Tab NamePurpose
All VendorsThe master list of every unique vendor and their assigned Parent Name.
Top VendorsA ranked view focusing on high-spend or highly fragmented suppliers.
Watch ListSuppliers manually flagged for ongoing monitoring or specialized review.
IntercompanyIsolated view of internal transactions to separate them from third-party spend.
EmployeesSpecifically for expense-related payments to individuals.

Review Strategy

For the most efficient audit, we recommend starting with the Needs Attention KPI card and the Top Vendors tab to ensure your largest spend categories are normalized correctly first.
