FENXT Vendors vs Ramp Vendors

Overview

When using the Ramp for FE integration, users may notice that Accounting Vendors (the vendors loaded from Financial Edge NXT) do not immediately appear in the Vendors/Merchant list within Ramp. This article explains how and when these vendors show up and how the vendor selection process works when creating a bill.

Why Don’t My Accounting Vendors Show Up Initially?

The Accounting Vendors are synced into Ramp from Financial Edge NXT, but they won’t appear in the standard Vendors list right away. Instead, they become visible after you process at least one invoice for them.

This behavior is due to how Ramp manages its Vendor/Merchant Network, which is separate from the Accounting Vendors list. Ramp blends its native vendor directory with synced vendors during bill creation.

What Happens During Bill Creation?

When you create a Bill (Invoice) in Ramp:

• Ramp presents a searchable vendor list that includes both:

  • Ramp’s internal merchant network

  • Your synced Accounting Vendors

• In the search results:

  • You may see your synced Accounting Vendors listed.

  • You’ll also see an option to create a new vendor if no match is found.

• Vendors selected during bill creation will begin appearing in future vendor dropdowns once used.

Summary

• Accounting Vendors don’t show in the vendor list immediately.

• They appear after you’ve used them in at least one bill.

• Ramp blends its network and your synced vendors during bill creation.
