The buying company initiates the process of adding new suppliers by inviting supplier users to register, or by registering supplier users directly. If you receive an invitation to access Oracle iSupplier Portal, you can respond to the invitation (and provide user profile information, such as name and contact details), or forward the invitation to another user in your company. For example, the buying company may send an invitation to the Vice President of Sales within your organization; he can forward it to the appropriate person in his company. The user who responds can change any of the details except the name of the supplier company for whom he or she is registering.

If the buying company has multiple site definitions for your company, or if you have multiple subsidiaries, your buying company may give you access to view information for multiple site definitions.

People who wish to register with the system must complete the Supplier User Registration Page and submit it for approval

A buyer administrator will approve or reject the your registration request. You receive a notification of the buyer administrator's actions. The notification includes the URL at which you can access the network, plus any additional information such as the username and a system-generated password needed for initial login. (You will be prompted to change this password after first login.)

Buyers can designate a supplier user with user account from the Contact Directory to receive the business classification reminder notifications. To designate the supplier users expand the user account information node and select Certification Reminders check box in the User Notification region.

Directly Registered Supplier Users

If the buying company has enough information about a user at your company, the buyer can chose to register the user directly, in which case the users receives an e-mail notification with the URL, username, and system-generated password.

Supplier Registered Supplier Users

If additional people in your company need access to Oracle iSupplier Portal, they should contact the Supplier Profile and User Administrator at your company. This administrator can create new user accounts for your users. Once the account is created, the user will be sent a notification containing system access information.
