After a supplier representative submits an application form, the submission automatically triggers the qualification business process. The Portal communicates with the MDM Hub, which saves the data that is entered in each page to separate records in a pending state. The MDM Hub links the records to construct and present a 360 degree view of a supplier to business users.

If the supplier is approved, the data in the supplier application form becomes the supplier profile. Supplier data does not need to be entered again.
