Merchant numbers list

Merchant numbers list

This page displays a list of all merchant numbers. This function is only available if you use the AMEX purchasing card for payments. A merchant number is the AMEX contract partner number for the supplier and is used, for example, to uniquely identify the supplier during authorization. Merchant numbers can be used to restrict the use of credit cards to specific suppliers and product groups (whereby a catalog is a main product group). Merchant numbers are assigned to catalogs, so a supplier with several catalogs can have several merchant numbers. Suppliers with different subsidiaries and catalogs can also have several merchant numbers.

Merchant numbers are automatically taken over when catalogs are updated or replaced.

A basic contract that uses the AMEX purchasing card for payments can only be saved if a merchant number has been assigned to the catalog.

You can search for specific entries in the list (see Searching for information) and change the way the list is displayed (see Working with lists).

The following information is displayed:

Column	Description
Details	displays details of the merchant number
Supplier	Name of the supplier to which the merchant number is assigned
Catalog	Name of the catalog to which the merchant number is assigned
Merchant number	Merchant number assigned to the given supplier and catalog
