How You Register New Suppliers

Supplier user registration requests are created in different ways. For example, suppliers can submit user registration requests directly from your external registration websites. You can create supplier user requests by creating contacts during the process of creating a new supplier.

You can submit requests to create new suppliers and contacts from Oracle Sourcing.

Roles Available for Provisioning by Registration Request Source

On the Manage Supplier User Role Usages page, you can see all the roles available for provisioning to supplier users. Each role has a column named Default for Sourcing. If you select a role in this column, the role will be available for provisioning to requests for supplier users that originate from Sourcing. Job roles you select in the Default for Supplier Portal column are available for provisioning to requests that originate from any other source, such as internally when creating a new supplier definition, or externally when a supplier completes a registration form using one of your company's external registration web sites.

Note that you're specifying the set of roles that appears by default when you later create a user account for a supplier. This simplifies the process for creating user accounts, because you can easily see the roles typically used to create user accounts and choose the roles appropriate to the user account you're creating. However, you're not restricted to only the roles identified here. You can still grant a role to a new user even if the role isn't available from the Manage Supplier User Role Usages page.
