Wondering how peers handle the creation of suppliers in their ERPs. Specifically, what organization bears the role? Is it Procurement, Accounts Payable, or a shared role? Would appreciate feedback.

I would say it's a shared role. Procurement is responsible for gathering documents from suppliers and A/P should set them up in the system. I would add that within A/P, there should be a segregation of duties between who enters the bank/payment information and other dataVice President, Procurement in Real Estate7 months ago
I would also say that it's a shared role. Procurement help to guide the due diligence process in gathering docuements from the vendors, but A/P is creating/updating the vendor record within the ERP. Vendor Onboarding Platforms really help to streamline these processes though by performing real time validations, configurable workflows (i.e. there should be less due diligence for Charitable Contributions versus SaaS Applications), and a direct integration into the ERP.
