Introduction to Mekorma Vendor Validation

Mekorma Vendor Validation works in conjunction with Acumatica Cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) to save you time on critical Accounts Payable (AP) processes. Our providers allow you to do business with peace of mind by validating your Vendor Master File data during onboarding and throughout the payment lifecycle.

Mekorma Vendor Validation uses validation services (also known as providers) to validate different types of data during the validation process. The results of these validations are compiled and displayed clearly in your system. The vendor validation providers we currently offer are:

• Address Validation: From payments to shipping to tax compliance purposes, there are a multitude of benefits to validating your vendors’ addresses.
• TIN Matching: Every time you add a new vendor or update a vendor, Mekorma Vendor Validation automatically verifies a vendor’s Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), ensuring legitimacy and saving you stress.
• OFAC Screen: It is important that you know your vendors are not on the United States Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) Sanctions List. This list includes entities you want to avoid doing business with such as groups deemed a threat to the United States. You can access the Sanctions List from the Department of Treasury’s website.
  

The process is simple to configure and runs with just one click. Since Acumatica is a cloud-based service, this is all done with ease from your web browser.
