Set Up Vendor Management Integration

On This Page
This content applies solely to Award Management, which must be purchased separately from the Appian base platform. This content was written for Appian 26.6 and may not reflect the interfaces or functionality of other Appian versions.

The integration between Award Management (AM) and Vendor Management connects the two solutions and provides contracting personnel with the ability to interact with vendors about awards. When enabled, contracting officers can see vendor messages within the Award record summary.

Caution:  Before using this integration, set the AS_AM_BOL_VENDOR_MANAGEMENT_INTEGRATION_TOGGLE constant value to True in Appian Designer.

System requirements for Vendor Management integration

  • Appian version 24.4 or later.
  • Award Management 2.2.0 or later.
  • Vendor Management 1.8.0 or later.

Create an API key and configure the connected system

To connect Award Management with Vendor Management, generate an API key in the same environment where your Vendor Management application is imported. An API key is required even if both Vendor Management and Award Management are in the same environment.

To create the API key and configure the connected system:

  1. Create an API key in the environment where Vendor Management is imported.
    • Use amintegration as the service account username.
    • Add the service account to the AS VM Service Accounts for AM Access group.
    • Copy and save the generated API key.
  2. In the Award Management environment, go to Appian Designer and search for and open the AS AM CS Vendor Management connected system.
  3. In the Value field, click Clear and paste the API key.
  4. In the Base URL field, enter the URL of the Vendor Management environment in the following format: https://<ENVIRONMENT_URL>/suite/webapi/.

  5. Click SAVE.
