How can I invite suppliers to my negotiation?

You use the Search and Add feature to identify suppliers and add them to your negotiation invitation list. For each supplier you invite, you must also specify a contact.

You can now invite all suppliers as needed to meet regulatory requirements and provide a fair market opportunity. You can see these suppliers in the UI and in spreadsheets. You can view and add more than 500 suppliers.

For the supplier contacts you identify in the invitation list, notifications are sent containing information about the negotiation (if you select a supplier site, then for that supplier, only contacts registered for that site are sent invitations). You can also invite prospective suppliers. Prospective suppliers are registered with the application but not yet approved for conducting spend transactions.

If the supplier has only one site, and one contact associated with the site, then the supplier site and supplier contact is set as default for the invite.
