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 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 validation providers we currently offer are:

• 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) and name with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), ensuring legitimacy and saving you stress.
• OFAC Screening: 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 must avoid doing business with because they are sanctioned by that office. You can access the Sanctions List from the Department of Treasury’s website.
• Address Validation: From payments to shipping to tax compliance purposes, there are a multitude of benefits to validating addresses of those you do business with.
  

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.
