Understanding Vendor List

Overview

The Vendors table in SmartVendor (Auditoria) is the central workspace for viewing and managing vendor records within AP Invoices. Each row represents a vendor, with columns displaying key details that support identification, invoice automation, and compliance. The default view is sorted alphabetically by Vendor Name, but you can sort any visible column and apply column filters as needed.


Vendor List Filters

At the top of the vendor table, use the filter buttons to segment the list:

  • All: Displays all vendors eligible for AP Invoices.

  • Enrolled: Shows vendors enrolled in AP Invoices. For these vendors, SmartVendor automation processes incoming invoice emails (from known or allow‑listed Relaxed Matching Domains) by extracting invoice data, creating document records, and enabling downstream workflows such as Write to SoR.

  • Unenrolled: Shows vendors not currently enrolled in AP Invoices. Emails from these vendors may still be visible to users, but AP Invoices automation is not applied and invoice processing must be handled manually.

Click Clear All Filters to reset the view.
