The default columns in the view are:

Company Name: The name of the supplier company. In the expanded view, you can also see the connection date and the data list status.
Status: The status of the supplier record. The approval status shows whether the approval is in the pre-approval or post-approval phase. Pre-approval phase is before supplier invitation. Thus, these are new supplier proposals. Post-approval means supplier records that come from suppliers for approval. Onboarding status shows the invitation status. For example, candidate means that no invitation is sent yet, and completed means that the supplier completed the registration.
Vendor Code: The customer's ERP ID for this supplier record. The ERP ID can be either imported via API or updated manually in the Administrative information section. This ID is typically the same as in Basware P2P.
Company Codes: The customer company code which usually is based on the company codes in the customer's ERP system. The column can have multiple values which means that the supplier is used in multiple companies. The value is updated in the API import.

To view more details about the supplier, click Company Details and then click

to expand one of the sections.

Workflow: This section provides audit trail or workflow log on individual actions done to the supplier record. You can see when the supplier was created, who created and approved it, and also which supplier users have updated the profile and when. Suppliers cannot view this.
Administrative information: This section contains standard internal customer information, for example the workflow category, company code, ERP ID, and possible custom fields for the supplier record. Suppliers cannot view this.
Company information: This section contains basic information about the supplier company, for example company registration numbers, addresses, contact details, payment and delivery terms, order information, and bank account details. It is also possible to add custom fields to collect more data from the supplier. You can update company information until the invitation is sent to the supplier. After the invitation is sent, the supplier then owns this data.
Documents: This section contains any uploaded documents with their upload and expiration dates.
