• SOAR is currently used to add new suppliers that do not exist in a GEHC Purchasing system. If the supplier legal entity is not in SSP or the ERP (GLPROD, SAP, PeopleSoft, etc) SOAR should be used.

  • If the supplier had a name change and their Tax ID or VAT registration number has change, it’s considered a new supplier and SOAR should be used.

How determine if a supplier exists in a GEHC purchasing system

  • Indirect suppliers can be found in the below folder:
    SSP Supplier Extracts

  • If you have Sourcing Workbench access the below report will provide suppliers in SSP, GLPROD, SAP, and Peoplesoft.

SWB Supplier Extract

Please note, Life Science suppliers (Now Cytiva) are currently pulling into this report and are not part of GEHC. If you see “LS” in the Vendor Site Org Name (column C) that row should be considered not part of GEHC.

If you are unable to make this determination, please reach out the SOAR helpdesk at SOAR.Helpdesk@ge.com
