Supplier Bank Detail Verification

Verifies a supplier's bank details through an independently obtained phone number before any payment is set up or changed. Raised at setup and on every change request. Carried out by finance, never by the person who received the request. Payment redirection fraud costs businesses more than any other single fraud, and it is defeated entirely by one call to a number you looked up yourself.

When to use it

When to use it, and when not to

This record is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.

Use it for

  • The event or activity this record covers has occurred, or is about to
  • The workspace is being set up, or the register needs an entry added or retired
  • You are running the Supplier Onboarding and Lifecycle programme and this is one of its steps
  • A linked record needs this one to exist: feeds master data setup

Not for

  • Supplier Onboarding Checklist, which takes a new supplier from selected to able to trade, covering banking, insurance, terms, technical approval and system setup.
  • Supplier Sourcing Request, which starts the process of finding a new supplier, stating what is needed, why the existing suppliers cannot provide it and what the selection criteria will be.
  • Supplier Due Diligence and Screening, which screens a prospective supplier for financial standing, ownership, sanctions exposure, litigation and adverse media before commercial discussions go far.
  • Anything outside KnowLogistics, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process

Checklist

Supplier Onboarding Checklist

Takes a new supplier from selected to able to trade, covering banking, insurance, terms, technical approval and system setup. Raised once per new supplier. Owned by procurement. The step where an unapproved supplier quietly becomes an approved one because somebody needed the material.

Record

Supplier Sourcing Request

Starts the process of finding a new supplier, stating what is needed, why the existing suppliers cannot provide it and what the selection criteria will be. Raised before anybody is approached. Owned by procurement. Sourcing that begins with a supplier already chosen produces a prequalification that rubber stamps the decision.

Assessment

Supplier Due Diligence and Screening

Screens a prospective supplier for financial standing, ownership, sanctions exposure, litigation and adverse media before commercial discussions go far. Run once a supplier is shortlisted. Carried out by procurement with finance. The checks that are cheap now and impossible to unwind once you are dependent on them.

Record

Supplier Master Data Setup

Creates the supplier record in the systems that will use it, covering codes, terms, tax status, addresses and approval scope. Completed once approval is granted. Carried out by master data with procurement. A supplier set up with the wrong payment terms or the wrong approval scope quietly bypasses controls for years.

Review

Supplier First Delivery Review

Reviews the first delivery from a new supplier against everything that was promised during approval. Run after the first receipt. Carried out by goods in with quality and procurement. The moment you find out whether the approval evidence described the supplier you actually got.

Record

Supplier Change Notification

Records a change a supplier has told you about, or one you have discovered, covering manufacturing site, formulation, ownership, subcontracting or certification. Raised on notification or discovery. Assessed by technical with procurement. A supplier moving production to a different plant invalidates every audit and approval you hold.
