View Objects from Supplier Portal

As a supplier portal user, you can access the Product Management Search page (a Redwood page) to search for objects that have been enabled by your administrator.

You can add the objects to clipboard, access objects using the Recently Visited panel, and use the Saved Searches panel.

Also, you can access to guided journeys if your administrator has configured it for you.

To access Product Management Search, click the Product Management card after logging in to the supplier portal.

When you navigate through the objects on the supplier portal, the content appears based on access control lists or business rules (configured using Oracle Visual Builder Studio).

Note:

• The search pages are compliant with a web application firewall and support single sign-on bypass.
• The object pages appearing on supplier portal show the same tabs that are visible to other users by default, unless they’re explicitly hidden through configurations.

Configure Users to Access Product Management Search Page on Supplier Portal

Here's what you must do:

• Opt in to the feature Redwood: Enable the New Supplier Portal Home Page Experience.
• Configure a view for supplier portal users with the Application field set to Supplier Product Management. Configure views for item search, workflow search, and structures to ensure that supplier portal users can see only the attributes relevant to them.
• Secure items by clearing the Public option for all item classes where it's selected.
• Secure access to changes such as (such as change orders, change requests, problem reports, and corrective actions). To do this, you must add users to the Security tab on changes (from the classic interface). This is because supplier portal users can view all changes that don’t have any users added in the Security tab of the change. In short, all such changes will be visible to all supplier users.
• Hide tabs on workflows according to your business requirements by using business rules configured in Visual Builder Studio. This is to avoid supplier portal users from viewing all actions and tabs across all workflows available to other internal users.

Note:

• The Additional Workflow Controls configured in the Portal User column as part of the change type setup will also be applicable on Redwood pages. Note that:
  • Supplier portal users can be granted a higher-level access by adding a new role and assigning permissions to that role through additional workflow controls.
  • Between the permissions in the Portal User column and the new role, the functionality that’s higher of the two will be applicable.

    For example, for the Promote Manually action, if the Portal User is set as No, and New Role is set as To next status, the portal user can promote the workflow to the next status. If you don't want the permission in Portal User column to be applied, you can set all actions in that column as No.

• Supplier portal users can't navigate to the Product Management landing page like any other users of Product Management.
• Supplier portal users won’t have access to the Navigator icon available for the other application pages.
• If you're configuring a view for supplier portal users, set the Application as Supplier Product Management.
