Wind-Down. Audit-Ready
Vendor flagged for offboarding → outstanding PO check → final-invoice settlement → bank details locked → record archived → ERP master data deactivated across all entities — all with audit trail. The last mile of supplier lifecycle every vendor catalog forgets.
By the numbers
The use case
Vendor catalogs publish onboarding templates. None publish offboarding. Coupa, SAP Ariba, Tipalti, Stampli, Zip — no competitor publishes vendor offboarding as a named template. So in every mid-market and enterprise procurement org, deactivating a supplier is a JIRA ticket. Sometimes processed. Sometimes not. The active-supplier count in your CSRD report is 30% inflated. Last quarter, AP paid an offboarded supplier whose account wasn't actually disabled. Auditors flag the master data lifecycle as having no deactivation trail.
Pre-built workflow template: vendor flagged for offboarding → Astral checks outstanding POs, receipts, and invoices against the relationship graph → final-invoice settlement workflow → bank details locked → record archived with audit metadata → master data deactivated across every ERP entity → CSRD-clean active-supplier count restored. The last mile every vendor catalog forgets, finally one orchestration.
For who
Capabilities
Astral inspects the relationship graph and surfaces every open PO, GR-pending receipt, unsettled invoice, and outstanding payment before deactivation. No supplier is wound down with live commitments still in flight.
Open invoices route through accelerated settlement — final approval, payment scheduled, remittance advice sent. Disputed items escalate to a designated owner with SLA. Wind-down completes only when all financial commitments close.
Bank details freeze the moment offboarding starts — no new payment instructions accepted, no last-minute IBAN changes. AP fraud's #1 vector (a dormant supplier reactivated with a fraudulent IBAN) closes by construction.
Single click deactivates the supplier across every ERP entity simultaneously — SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Sage, all legal entities. No more 'we disabled it in one, forgot the other four'. Master data lifecycle becomes a managed event, not a janitorial backlog.
