Creating and Testing Public Supplier and Bidder Templates

To create and test public supplier and bidder registration templates:

  1. Log into setup pages as a supplier administrator and create public supplier and bidder templates. For detailed instructions, refer to Creating Templates for Online Registration.

  2. For each template ID, enter an access code on the Registration Template Setup – General page (Set Up Financials/Supply Chain > Product Related > Procurement Options > Suppliers > Registration Template Setup > General).

  3. Test the link to see if the URL works with the template. The URLs can also be secured servers (https).

    1. For suppliers, the URL will use this format:

      http://<apserver><supplierportal>SUP_OB_MENU.AUC_BIDDER_REGISTRATION.GBL?Action=U&SUP_OB_TEMPLATE=< public supplier template >

      For example, http://slc00tch.us.oracle.com/psp/ps_3/SUPPLIER/ERP/c/SUP_OB_MENU.AUC_BIDDER_REGISTR.GBL?Action=U&SUP_OB_TEMPLATE_ID=SUPPLIER.

    2. For bidders, the URL will use this format:

      http://<apserver><supplierportal>AUC_BIDDER_REGISTRATION.AUC_BIDDER_REGISTRATION.GBL?Action=U&SUP_OB_TEMPLATE=< public bidder template >

      For example, http://slc00tch.us.oracle.com/psp/ps_3/SUPPLIER/ERP/c/AUC_BIDDER_REGISTRATION.AUC_BIDDER_REGISTR.GBL?Action=U&SUP_OB_TEMPLATE_ID=BIDDER

See also the product documentation for Oracle’s Weblogic and PeopleTools: System and Server Administration (PeopleTools, and then Utilities, and then Administration, and then URLs).

Based on the public access setup and the template setup, the user is logged in automatically, and the supplier and bidder registration pages appear, as shown in this example:
