# Vendor Settings

> Manage transcription vendor BAAs, jurisdiction-aware vendor routing, and organization-level vendor defaults for ambient clinical transcription.

The Vendor Settings page is the administrative hub for configuring transcription vendors: their signed Business Associate Agreements, routing rules by jurisdiction, and organization-wide defaults. Primary route: `/transcription/admin/vendors`. Alternate route `/transcription/vendor-settings` was listed as an alternate but was not found in the route files; the primary route should be used.

## Overview

The page is gated by `pf.transcription.vendors.manage`. It renders three tabs (active tab synced to `?tab=` query parameter via `useTabUrlState`):

* **Vendor BAAs** — `VendorBaaTable`: list and manage signed Business Associate Agreements with transcription vendors.
* **Jurisdiction Routing** — `JurisdictionRoutingTable`: configure which vendor handles transcription for each jurisdiction.
* **Org Defaults** — `OrgVendorDefaultsCard`: set the organization-wide fallback transcription vendor.

## Who it's for

Requires `pf.transcription.vendors.manage` (route guard).

## Before you start

* Transcription vendors must be known before configuring BAAs or routing rules.
* Your account must have `pf.transcription.vendors.manage`.

## Steps

1. Navigate to `/transcription/admin/vendors`.
2. On the **Vendor BAAs** tab, review or add BAA records for each vendor.
3. Switch to **Jurisdiction Routing** to configure vendor assignment by jurisdiction.
4. Use **Org Defaults** to set a fallback vendor for the organization.

## Key concepts

**BAA (Business Associate Agreement)** — a HIPAA-required agreement between the organization and a vendor handling PHI.

**Jurisdiction routing** — rules that direct transcription requests to the appropriate vendor based on the encounter's jurisdiction code.
