# Synchronize supplier data using external third-party application

Synchronize supplier data with any external third-party application to ensure that you are working with the latest data in the Source-to-Pay Workspace.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_slm.manager, sn\_slm.owner, or sn\_slm.admin

**Note:** The sn\_slm.owner role can synchronize data only for the suppliers they own.

## About this task

Because the supplier data may have changed from the time that you last imported it, ensure that you are working with the latest supplier data by synchronizing with an external third-party application.

**Note:** Supplier Lifecycle Operations provides you with the flexibility to integrate with Craft to import and view the most up-to-date supplier data. For more information, see [Craft.co Integration for Supplier Lifecycle Operations](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/source-to-pay-operations/supplier-lifecycle-operations/craft-integration.md).

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Supplier Lifecycle Operations** > **Source-to-Pay Workspace**.

2.  Under My suppliers, select the legal name of the supplier you want to synchronize with external data.

    The supplier Details page opens.

3.  Do one of the following.
