Supplier Portal Overview

Supplier Portal Overview

Suppliers use the Supplier Portal to initiate a relationship with your organization and fill out an online application form. After business users in your organization approve a supplier, the supplier can use the Supplier Portal to upload product catalogs, upload documents, update information, and monitor performance.
As a business user, you do not use the Supplier Portal, but it is helpful to understand the Supplier Portal experience from a supplier perspective.
The Supplier Perspective
