Your supplier number remains in a pending state until Walmart reviews and selects your profile as an approved supplier.

You cannot build/generate POs until the entire supplier onboarding process is complete.
Tip: GSS Sourcing ID is an identifier used by the Global Sourcing teams in various systems and processes. Every GFR supplier is assigned a GSS Sourcing ID, but it is only used for direct import suppliers today.
