Understanding the Sourcing Bidder Portal Program

You can provide bidders and suppliers with access to your company's portal using the Sourcing Bidder Portal program (P43Q01). Bidders and suppliers use the Bidder Workbench link on your company's portal to respond to questions included in sourcing events. In addition to accessing the Bidder Workbench, bidders and suppliers can also manage their user profiles using one of two links. Form-level security determines the links to which bidders and suppliers have access. Bidders have access only to the Change Password link, and can only change their passwords. Suppliers have access to the Change Password link and also the Manage User Profiles link. The Manage User Profiles link enables suppliers to create, edit, and delete user profiles, change passwords, and edit user roles.
