Setting up Suppliers

The registration process for a supplier can be initiated by a customer. The customer must specify supplier information such as Supplier Name and Supplier ID, Registration ID, Registration key and Email address, on the Suppliers page.

When requirements are imported in Supplier Exchange, or a demand is published from an integrated ERP for a supplier who is not registered with the Supplier Exchange, partial supplier data such as Supplier Name and Supplier ID is generated automatically and defaulted on the Suppliers page. The customer must specify the supplier access information such as Registration ID, Registration key and email address on this page, and send an invitation to the specified email address of the supplier. This enables the supplier to register with Supplier Exchange.

The supplier who is registered with Supplier Exchange is termed as a Registered supplier and the supplier who is yet to be registered with Supplier Exchange is termed as unregistered supplier. Specific colors are used to indicate the status of suppliers.
