External entity access

The Supplier Portal can be configured to use the IFS External Entity Management service for external supplier contact access. This feature improves security and visibility of external supplier contact identities. It provides flexible authentication options for external supplier contact.

Users with the supply management administrator or buyer roles can perform these functions to manage external supplier contacts:

  • Add external supplier contacts
  • Update external supplier contact profiles
  • Send email notifications to external supplier contact

Features and options:

  • Primary email address sign-in
  • Codes for external supplier contact verification
  • Notification of change of supplier email
  • Branding
  • Sign-in page links for terms of use, contact us, and policy information
  • Outgoing email
  • Password requirements
  • Multifactor authentication

These features are available to customers that meet these requirements:

  • Multi-tenant
  • Landmark 2022.x
  • FSM version 2022.06 or later

Enablement occurs by provisioning new customers or by a migration process for existing customers. When the advanced feature is provisioned, customers can configure the components. See the Infor CloudSuite Corporate, Healthcare and Public Sector Multi-tenant Configuration Guide for information about provisioning and migration for external applications.
