Sneak Peek: 4 Steps to a cleaner Vendor Master

Below are a few highlights from the 10-step process that the guide explores in depth. These steps will help you systematically tackle issues like duplicate EINs, vendor takeover fraud, and missing documentation.

1. Turn Long-Inactive Vendors to “Stop” Status
   If a vendor hasn’t had any invoices or payments in years, it’s likely adding confusion and increasing the risk of fraudulent use. Deactivate or archive these records while retaining them for auditing.
2. Watch for Vendor Takeover Fraud Indicators
   Criminals posing as legitimate vendors often request suspicious banking or address changes. Learn how to spot red flags—such as sudden EFT-to-check switches—and confirm authenticity before approving.
3. Check for Duplicate EIN/Tax IDs
   Duplicate EINs can either be innocent mistakes or outright fraud. Our guide walks you through cross-referencing Tyler Munis data with IRS TIN matching tools to ensure accuracy.
4. Implement Vendor Self-Service
   Reduce manual data entry errors by letting vendors maintain their own addresses, W-9s, and banking info—while still keeping an approval workflow to validate crucial changes.
