For SAP S/4 HANA customers with Taulia’s Supplier Information Management features active, SAP users will leverage Fiori Apps to monitor and process supplier-submitted changes. This page can be used as a guide for Taulia customers migrating from SAP ECC to SAP S/4 HANA and using Taulia’s SIM product features.  

The SIM Fiori Apps can be accessed under the Fiori menu option Taulia - SIM. Here you will find tiles for each SIM change type for the following scenarios:

• Process Pending Changes
• View Historical Changes

NOTE: The Taulia SIM tiles available in Fiori may vary depending on the Taulia SIM features activated at your company and the security access assigned to your user.

Process Pending Changes

Within each Pending Changes tile, there is the option to Accept, Reject or mark as Changed Manually from the toolbar. These options will result in the following actions:

• Accept: This will automatically update the vendor master with the information in the Pending Changes area. Any attachments provided will be attached to the vendor master.
• Reject: No vendor master update will be made. This will trigger a notification to the supplier letting them know the change has been rejected.
• Changed Manually: This option assumes that the user will manually make a change to the vendor master record. It will not result in any automatic action in the vendor master nor trigger a notification to the supplier.

Additional FAQs 

My company is not using Taulia Supplier Information Management. How can we implement it?
Contact our support team to get the ball rolling and we will provide further details of the process.

I am currently using Taulia SIM features on SAP ECC and planning a migration to SAP S/4 HANA. Can I still use the Taulia Vendor Master Cockpit?
In order to modernize the Taulia user experience and align with SAP best practices, Taulia no longer supports the Vendor Master Cockpit in SAP S/4 HANA versions. Customers migrating to SAP S/4 HANA must implement Taulia Supplier Information Management for Fiori in order to facilitate Taulia SIM features. The steps to activate the Fiori Apps are not included in this guide and require a separate implementation effort. Please reach out to your Taulia contact to start your S/4 HANA migration.
