This episode is sponsored by Mekorma. Vendor management is the foundation of payment processing and a critical step in ensuring your business isn’t exposed to unnecessary risk, but for many teams operating in Microsoft Dynamics GP and D365 Business Central, it’s still manual, time-consuming, and error-prone. In this podcast episode, Mekorma’s Director of Revenue Brendan Coffey explores the realities of vendor management today, the compliance challenges of IRS TIN checks and OFAC sanctions, and what happens when vendor validation is overlooked. Listeners will walk away with a clear framework of "Now → Next → Later" for strengthening vendor management maturity in Business Central and Dynamics GP. From easing year-end 1099 reporting to embedding vendor validation and finally automating compliance checks in the payment run, this conversation shows how AP teams can save time, reduce risk, and scale with confidence.
