The ABR has updated their due date for when trading names will be removed to the 1st of November, 2025. Although an extension has been granted, VendorPanel will continue to request business information be re-verified to ensure all Supplier accounts meet a consistent standard for best data management practices.
There have been recent changes in how Supplier information is managed within the VendorPanel platform. The overall impact is highlighted in this recent update - see: Important Changes to the Australian Business Register & Supplier Details in VendorPanel
Due to these changes, all Suppliers will be prompted to verify their information.
Users will see the following window appear that cannot be skipped.
To proceed, users need to click on the Update business details button.
Overall, the process should take no longer than a couple of minutes and encompasess two overarching steps:
- Confirmation of ABN details
- Confirmation of Business Profile & Location
Changes to your email and password ARE NOT REQUIRED as part of the re-verification process. Please only verify the ABN, business profile and location steps in order to complete this process.
Confirmation of ABN details
The ABN field will be pre-populated. Please confirm the number is correct.
After checking your ABN/ACN, you will need to actively click on a business name that populates. All business names that appear are validated against the ABR.
You must ensure that you first select the correct business identity that is presented, then Confirm the business details you are selecting (see below). Failing to do so will not complete this step.
Confirmation of Profile & Location
Users will then be prompted to update their business location information. Again, this cannot be skipped.
Once you have chosen and confirmed your business number and name, you may need to check your business description. Ensure this is correct and click Save to continue.
From this page, enter your address and select the appropriate options from the dropdown menu.
Once your location and timezone has been verified, the process is complete.
