# Supplier sync

With the supplier sync, your list of suppliers are imported and created or updated in Fairmarkit.

**Note**: Each supplier in SAP Ariba will need to have a unique Supplier Name and Primary contact email.

See [Flat file integration](https://docs.fairmarkit.com/buyers/integrations/flat-file-integration) for information on how to upload a flat file to Fairmarkit.
