Test with 1–2 suppliers before running a full batch. :::hint{type="warning"} **Access required:** The Submit Supplier web service is secured by the **iLoad Web Services** domain, whose security groups are not configurable. In most tenants, only the **Implementers** group can run this EIB. If you are not a Workday administrator, ask your administrator or implementation partner to complete this option, or update suppliers one at a time using [Step 10.4: Assign to Suppliers (Workday)](docId\:PrGNCk4mExP8M7hQ4XXXL). ::: You also need your FISPAN Payments reference ID (see **Find Your FISPAN Payments Reference ID**). ## Create the EIB ::::WorkflowBlock :::WorkflowBlockItem ### Open Create EIB Search the task **Create EIB**. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem ### Name the EIB Enter a **Name** (for example, "FISPAN Update Supplier Payment Type"), select **Inbound**, and click **OK**. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem ### Set the General Settings On **General Settings**, set an **ID** using letters, numbers and underscores only (for example, `FISPAN_UpdateSupplierPaymentType`).
