Converting your 6-digit Vendor Number to a 9-digit Vendor/Supplier Number
To convert to 9-digits, add the department number and sequence number to the end of the 6-digit vendor number.
Example:
- 6-digit Vendor Number = 123456
- Walmart Dept. Number = 96 (Adult Beverages)
- Sequence Number = 0
- 9-Digit Vendor number = 123456 + 96 + 0 = 123456960
What if the 6-digit vendor number is less than 6 digits?

Some vendors may only have 4- or 5-digit numbers. In those cases, add either 1 or 2 zeros to the beginning of the number to make it a six-digit number (1234 = 001234)
