Validation Audit

It is good to audit your vendors on a regular basis. Some AP teams choose to do this quarterly, so that if any vendors have errors or warnings, the AP specialists can follow up. To view the validation information of all your vendors in one place, navigate to Mekorma Validation Audit.
