Concept: Unified Supplier Portal for Suppliers

When a customer grants you access to the Unified Supplier Portal (USP), you receive an email where you can sign up with Workday Central Login or sign in if you already have an account.
You use the same Workday Central Login account to sign in and access Strategic Sourcing and procurement information across multiple customers securely. Your primary work email used with multiple customers should be the same, and you must use Workday Central Login to create your account.
To receive access to the USP for different customers, contact each respective customer.

Additional Authentication for USP

A customer can require additional verification when you click
Procurement Portal
or the links in these tabs:
  • Catalog
  • Invoices
  • Payments
  • Purchase Orders
The additional verification requires you to enroll with email verification. A six-digit passcode will be emailed to you. After you enter the passcode and click
Verify Code
, you can access the Procurement Portal.
Not all customers require the additional authentication.

Procurement Information and Tasks

You can receive access to these procurement apps:
  • Contacts and Banking
    . You can change and view contact and settlement bank account information related to suppliers. To access the Contact and Banking procurement app from Strategic Sourcing:
    1. In the customer profile, click
      Procurement Portal
      .
    2. In the side menu in the Procurement Portal, click
      Contact and Banking
      .
  • Invoices and Payments
    . You can view the
    Most Recent Invoices
    and
    Most Recent Payments
    .
  • POs and Catalogs
    . You can view
    Most Recent Catalog Loads
    and
    Most Recent Purchase Orders
    . You can also access these tasks:
    • View All Catalog Loads
      , that you can use to search for catalog loads.
    • Catalog Load Request for Supplier
      , that you can use to add new items, update existing items, and load items to a catalog on Workday.
    • Find Purchase Order
      , that you can use to search for purchase orders by date, and name.
    • Create Invoice from Purchase Orders
      , that you can use to create an invoice request from a purchase order.
    • Log Time and Tasks
      , that you can use to log time worked by contingent workers on a purchase order.
You can only access procurement information in the USP for customers who grant the access. If you have other customers who have chosen not to uptake the Unified Supplier Portal, you can still access their Supplier Portal using the same login process you do today. You can't view them in the USP.
Example: Global Modern Services grants you access to the USP, but ProTech, Inc. doesn’t grant access. In the Global Modern Services customer profile, new tabs display for the information you’ve been granted access to. You can also click the
Procurement Portal
button from the Global Modern Services customer profile. No changes occur to the ProTech, Inc. customer profile.
Not all customers enable access to all apps in the USP.

Email Updates in the Unified Supplier Portal

Email updates made in Workday Central Login don’t update your primary work email in the USP. The email update will be reflected in the user profile in Strategic Sourcing, but this update won’t reach the Supplier Profile in Strategic Sourcing. The customer can’t sync the update.
To update your email address in the USP, Workday recommends that you reach out to your customer to update your primary work email to ensure both Workday Central Login email and verification email remain the same.
