Data Relationships

This content applies solely to Vendor Management, which must be purchased separately from the Appian base platform. This content was written for Appian 24.3 and may not reflect the interfaces or functionality of other Appian versions.

Introduction

The central record types and database entities in Vendor Management (VM) are associated with opportunities and proposals. Understanding the relationships between these entities can help you understand how the data in the application work together.

The entity relationship diagram (ERD) on this page illustrates the main entities used in the VM solution and their relationships to each other. To utilize the ERD diagrams to understand the data relationships in the VM solution, we recommend saving each image as a .png file and printing each file for better visibility.
