1. View the SAM Status field to determine the Supplier’s SAM registration status.

 The SAM status field will have the following statuses:

 Active – the Supplier has an Active SAM registration
 Exempt – used to manually indicate a Supplier is exempt from registration requirements
 Unregistered – the supplier is unregistered or has a pending registration
 Expired – used when the Supplier is registered but the registration has expired

 If the Supplier is not actively registered, the voucher/payment is placed on Hold with a reason of SAM Status.
 The only SAM Status value that can be manually updated is Exempt. Other statuses are system controlled based on checks
against the SAM System. Exempt should only be used according to Emory guidelines.
