Supplier default coding
Zudello saves you time by automatically coding purchasing documents with predefined values for each of your suppliers. This guide explains how to set up and manage default coding for your suppliers.

Best practices

- Ensure supplier defaults are consistent between Zudello and your ERP
- Consider the impact on existing processes before making changes
This article focuses on supplier default coding only.
For guidance on configuring supplier default document types, see Supplier default document types
Understanding default coding
Default coding in Zudello automatically applies predetermined values to specific transaction fields whenever:
- A document is uploaded and the supplier is successfully matched
- A supplier is manually matched to a document
- You click Apply Trained Rules for a document with a matched supplier
Setting up default coding
You can configure default coding in two ways:
ERP integration
If your ERP supports default coding rules:
- Set up the rules in your ERP
- Zudello pulls these rules when fetching supplier records
- Rules are automatically saved in Zudello
To check whether supplier default coding are pulled from your ERP, contact your organisation administrator or Zudello support.
Supplier card configuration
To set or modify default coding directly in Zudello:
- Open the supplier card:
- From a document: Click View next to the matched supplier
- From the Relationships module:
- Click the Supplier submodule
- Find and open the relevant supplier


- Locate the default coding section

- Select your desired default coding values for each relevant field

- Click Save
