Self-service prospective vendor registration enables you to register your interest in establishing a business relationship with the buying company. Once registered, you can provide details about your company, its addresses, contacts, products and services, and banking and payment information.

You must provide contact information so the system can send updates on the registration request. After completing the registration, you receive a confirmation that the request has been submitted for review. The information is reviewed by a buyer administrator, and if approved, you are notified of the decision by e-mail.

Prospective suppliers can provide contact information so the system can send updates on the registration request. As a prospective supplier, when you provide company details, you can create a new address and associate with the primary contact. Supplier users can associate address to contacts during prospective supplier registration.

When this check box is enabled, Addresses for the Contact region is available to suppliers to associate address with a contact.
