The agency XMVL (copy of the Master Vendor List) contains all the vendors an agency conducts business with. IPP allows the upload of the master vendor list in two formats:
CSV (through the Disburser Module XMVL import)
XML (automated integration task set up by the Disburser Administrator)
To import the Master Vendor List:
From the Suppliers tab, click the XMVL Directory sub-tab. The XMVL Directory page appears.
Click Import Vendors.
Click Browse and locate the CSV-formatted file that contains your master vendor list.
Click Open. IPP displays the file name in the Import File field.
Click Import to import the XMVL file into IPP; otherwise, click Cancel.
