Subcontractors

Supplier/vendor is a separate relationship from that of subcontractor, because Contract Management subcontractors are contracted with the supplier on the contract, not the buyer.

The only requirement to set up a subcontractor is a company name (unless tax information is required by Supplier Group). Optionally, address information and tax information can be added. Multiple diversity, contact, certification, commodity code, and comment information can be added similar to the information on suppliers.

Subcontractors can be set up by the Buyer

Subcontractors can also be set up by the Supplier on Supplier Portal if the Manage subcontractors check box is selected on the Supplier Portal Access tab. If it is not selected, Suppliers cannot see subcontractors.

Suppliers can see all subcontractors on the Supplier Portal and can create them and maintain additional details such as Commodity Code (if allowed by the Supplier Group field), but cannot change address information after initial creation. Suppliers also cannot delete any subcontractor information.

Suppliers have an option to Email the buyer about a subcontractor.
