Supplier-Initiated Profile Change Requests
As a supplier user, you can modify your supplier profile. On the Oracle Supplier Portal, click the Manage Profile link to display the Company Profile page. Click Edit to initiate the change process.
Supplier-Initiated Profile Changes
Supplier-initiated profile change requests can include changes to many profile attributes. On submission, proper approvers are identified based on the profile change approval configuration defined, and notified of the change request.
Enable Supplier-Initiated Profile Changes
To use supplier-initiated profile changes, enable the feature by selecting Full Supplier Profile Change Management. In the Setup and Maintenance Work Area, access the Procurement offering. Full Supplier Profile Change Management can be enabled in Oracle Supplier Portal, Oracle Sourcing, or Oracle Supplier Qualification.
Enabling this feature allows supplier users to change all profile entities from the Supplier Portal. When it's disabled, the supplier can make changes only to supplier contacts.
Configure Entity-level Approval Requirements
Approvals are configured through the Configure Supplier Registration and Profile Change Request task, Supplier Profile Change Request tab, accessed through the Setup and Maintenance work area.
You can configure approval requirements for all profile entities, for both prospective and spend authorized suppliers.
Entities include:
-
Organization Details

Contacts

Configure Profile Change Approval Policies
You can configure how supplier-initiated profile changes are to be approved. The approval policies are configured in the Setup and maintenance work area using the Manage Supplier Profile Change Approvals task, in the Procurement offering and Approvals Management functional area, using seeded stages and participants. Approvals work in a similar fashion to supplier registration approvals. See Configuring Supplier Registration and Self Service Profile Request: Points to Consider for details about approval stages, participants, and routing types.
