Supplier representatives use the

Supplier Portal

to view their supplier profile. When a supplier representative signs on to the Portal, the representative sees the Welcome dashboard. In the left navigation panel under Company, the links summarize the information that makes up the supplier profile. In the display area, the representative can see messages, links to catalogs, notifications, renewal alerts, invoices, and some performance metrics. Authorized supplier representatives can modify information, add supporting documentation, upload catalogs, and monitor performance.

Business users use

Supplier 360

to open and view supplier profiles. A data steward can edit data in the supplier profile, send notifications to the supplier, and change the status of a supplier. A data steward can also create supplier profiles.

If the

Supplier Portal

connects to a Product Management Information (PIM) system, the product catalog upload and product catalog management operations are available to the suppliers. The supplier must have the necessary permissions to upload and edit product catalogs.
