To add records based on a business entity, use the
New
tab with the
Business Entity
option and select a business entity. For example, select
Supplier
business entity.
In the
New
window, if you see both the
Business Entity
option and
Subject Area
option, ask the MDM administrator which one to use. The
Business Entity
option opens an entity tab while the
Subject Area
option opens the
Data
tab.
The MDM administrator defines the business entities, including the data and structure. The administrator also designs the layout of the record view that opens when you create a record. Your application can have one or more record views.
You might see the following panels in your record view when you create a record:
Record Details panel
The main panel in the record view is the data entry form. Required fields are marked.
Similar Records panel
If the record view contains the Similar Records panel, as you enter data in required fields,
Supplier 360
generates a list of similar records for your review. Review the similar records before finishing the form. If you find the record already exists, you can edit the existing record instead of adding a new record. If you are uncertain whether a similar record is the same record that you want to add, continue adding the new record. If you add a duplicate record,
Supplier 360
can find and consolidate matching records for you.
