  4. Managing Data through VSM • VSM Supplier Creation • Suppliers can be directly setup within VSM and mastered. Once mastered the record will flow to the other applications in the IBM Emptoris Suite To Master a Supplier Supplier Profile Information Master ID

  5. Managing Data through VSM • VSM Roles / Groups • Roles and groups are set up for each application in the IBM Emptoris Suite. • Roles manage the permissions the of the user • Groups are set up for job functions that have multiple roles associated. Defining Roles Assigning Roles

  7. VSM Mastering Rules Considerations • What is a mastering rule? • Mastering rules are rules setup on a supplier record allowing the ‘Source’ data source to update the record or field value.

  8. VSM Mastering Rules Considerations • VSM Out of Box - Closest match criteria: • “Company Name” field is the only field available for ‘closest match’ rule. • This rule is ‘NOT’ case sensitive • Auto-mastering workflow use the ‘closest match’ rule. • If close match suppliers are found in VSM the supplier record is kicked out into a queue to be reviewed by an data administrator to be master manually. 1.) Setting up Mastering rules per data source 2.) After a record is mastered it is published to subscribing modules (sample SLM)

  9. VSM Mastering Rules Considerations • Mastering Questions for RBC- • Are there any data rules to be applier to supplier records? • RBC can set a field level rule to validate supplier fields that ‘must’ be populated before mastering. Are there any such fields? • RBC can set a data source rule to always allow a certain data source (SLM) to auto-master the supplier record. • When a supplier is approved in SLM will the supplier record be auto-mastered or manually mastered? • Sample of Data rules setup for the Master data source • Master IF: • Supplier ‘Approved’ in SLM • Company Name in SLM data source != Company Name in Master Data source.

  10. Sample of a supplier “Apple Pie LTD” • Approved in SLM • Mastered in VSM • The supplier will be available to all other modules (sample above showing supplier available in sourcing) • Above is the view from VSM where the master record is available by Module • VSM -> Supplier -> Sourcing – The supplier that was just mastered is available in Sourcing “Apple Pie LTD”

VSM – Shared data between Module • Golden attributes in VSM is the data shared between the Emptoris modules. • VSM Data shared between applications: • Category Data • Category data is name, code, parent, description and keywords • Region Data • Region data is city, state and country data • Organization Data • Organization data is name, code, parent, description (used for contract visibility) • User Data • Shared user data is Name, Account Name, Profile , Groups • Supplier Data • Supplier data includes name, address, contacts. Suppliers MUST be mastered to be seen in other Suite modules. To enable the Supplier and associated attributes defined as golden attributes to be passed to other applications the supplier record must first be mastered. For the golden attributes to be passed to the sourcing module the supplier record must also be approved in VSM and then will flow to sourcing. The following screen shot above depicts the fields that Suppliers stored in VSM will share with other applications.
