Set Up Supplier Self-Registration

Set Up Supplier Self-Registration

Have the standard supplier onboarding form enabled.
You can set up supplier self-registration so that potential suppliers can register with your organization without using an event invitation. Suppliers can self-register:
  • By using a link that you provided to them.
  • Through your public bid site, if configured.
  1. Access
    Settings
    Supplier Profile
    Supplier Self-Registration
    .
  2. Select
    Enable Supplier Self-Registration
    .
    If you don’t have subdomains enabled in your tenant, Strategic Sourcing enables them when you enable the self-registration in your settings. Contact your IT department to ensure you and your stakeholders can access new subdomains.
  3. (Optional) In the
    Manage Fields
     section, select which fields you want to include. These options don't automatically derive from the standard onboarding form.
    All other self-registration form configurations derive from your standard onboarding form configurations.
    You can also enable help text and terms and conditions that are specific to your organization.
  4. (Optional) Enable and include instructions for:
    • Self-registration form.
    • Terms and conditions.
    • Attachments.
    You can format text and include links in the instructions you provide to your suppliers.
  5. (Optional) Select
    Enable similar supplier search
    .
    Similar supplier search helps prevent duplicate suppliers in your Supplier Directory. This search initiates an approximate string matching search when a supplier input their company name. Strategic Sourcing identifies similar supplier names within the supplier directory and notifies the supplier to contact their administrator if a match is found.
    Don’t enable this feature if you don’t want your suppliers to be searchable by other supplier users.
Your potential suppliers can self-register with your organization. You can’t modify supplier information from self-registration until you send the supplier the standard onboarding form. In the
Supplier Directory
, you can view if a supplier has self-registered in the
Supplier 360
 tab.
