Whenever spenders submit a purchase request, they have to indicate the supplier they wish to work with. If they intend to work with a new supplier, rather than selecting an existing one, they can manually enter it in the supplier field of the purchase request.

However, this new supplier will not be created as an actual supplier in Moss. Why? Because supplier management is the responsibility of the finance team. As a result, the new supplier will need to be created by the finance team when the first invoice is submitted.
