Creation of Vendors by batch jobs: Bypass the 'confirmation' process

Question

Hello,
Need your kind suggestions please. When we create a vendor master data it's a two step process. In the first place we create and save it. In the second step a different user needs to log in and confirm the same before the vendor gets active in the system.
Now, our client usually have to create a huge load of vendors on a regular basis. So they want to automate this process by creating the vendors using a background job. Since the vendors would be created by the batch job, security issues would automatically be taken care of.
Therefore they want to avoid the second step of 'confirming' the vendors to get them 'active' in the system.
Is it possible to bypass the 'confirm' procedure so that no one has to log in and keep confirming the huge number of vendors that would need to be created?
Please advice. if you need more information, please let me know and I would try to answer as far as my knowledge goes.
Regards,
Suvarghya

Hi,
Go to the following path,
IMG >> Financial Accounting >> Accounts Recievables and Accounts Payable >> Vendor Accounts >> Master Data >> Preparations for Creating Vendor Master Data >> Define sensitive Fields for Dual Controls (Vendors).
Click that activity, and delete all the fields that exists which makes it not necessary to confirm any of the vendors when they are created/made a change.
Good Luck,
