Set the new-supplier creation mode

Configure how Nordflow behaves when an invoice arrives from a supplier that does not yet exist in your ERP.

What does this setting do?

Every time an invoice comes in from an unknown supplier, Nordflow must decide what to do. The three modes below let you match the behaviour to the client’s supplier-management process — from fully automated to fully controlled.

Where: Integration → Vendor — the new-supplier creation settings are at the top of the page.

1. Open Integration → Vendor.
2. Find the new-supplier creation setting at the top of the page.
3. Select one of the three modes:

Mode	What happens	When to use
Ask (default)	A yellow warning appears on the document. The reviewer decides whether to create the supplier or reject the document.	Recommended for most clients — every new supplier gets a deliberate human review.
Auto-create	The supplier is created in the ERP automatically the moment the invoice arrives. No warning fires.	High-volume clients with reliable data capture who accept that master data may accumulate one-off suppliers.
Never create	The invoice stays flagged until someone manually creates the supplier in the ERP and syncs.	Clients with a tightly controlled supplier list or compliance requirements around supplier onboarding.

4. Click Save.

Caution

Auto-create can fill master data with duplicates and one-off creditors quickly. If you use it, plan regular master-data cleanup.
