Proxy Vendor Data Onboarding

Prev Next

The Proxy Vendor Data Onboarding feature enables PIES files to be uploaded by a Proxy Vendor role (Example: Data Supplier). This functionality for data onboarding is useful in the following scenarios:

  1. Internal Teams having better, or more recent data.
  2. Vendors not directly accessing the system, due to business or technical reasons.

Prerequisite

You must configure the following Reference Data table:

  • Vendor Information: This Reference Data table includes all the vendor IDs.

To upload the Vendor data:

  1. The Proxy Vendor role must select the specific Vendor from the Vendor Id drop-down list.

    The following is a sample screenshot displaying the Vendor Id drop-down list for Proxy Vendor role:

  2. Upload the PIES XML file by clicking the Upload File button. For more information, see Create Part Data Using PIES XML.

Note:

It is mandatory to select a value from the Vendor Id drop-down list to upload a PIES XML file of any version.

In case you do not select an ID from the Vendor Id drop-down, the application displays an error notification stating "Ownership data not found". A sample screenshot is as displayed:
