Questions?

It should be useful if vendors could see the volume of the job and the Project name in addition to the automatic code which is generated by XTRF.

Is it possible to add these informations in the job offer screen?

Is the web address for the vendor portal located somewhere for reference within XTRF configurations? I see the address for the customer portal listed within Partner Management > Customer Portal but am not sure where to find this for our vendor portal. I think it would be helpful to have an analogous set up for the vendor portal.

I've uploaded our Terms & Conditions file for Vendors on the Vendor Portal configuration menu (see screen shot), thinking vendors would have it available for them on the vendor portal, but some are writing back saying they can't find it, and I've logged in as a user of the Vendor Portal and also can«t find it anywhere.

Please help, and thanks!

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has more experience with Vendor portal and how users register for it. Under Vendor portal setting I see 4 statuses that can be assigned to a vendor when he /she registers on our Vendor Portal. I presume Active means, that the Vendor can start working on projects immediately. But I am not sure about other three.

Active: Vendor account is active after registration, Not confirmed: Vendor account is not confirmed, Potential: Vendor account is set as potential, Waiting for approval: Vendor need to wait for approval by a Vendor Manager.

We want to set a stauts that would not automatically register/enter them into our database. Does any of statuses above do this? We do not want to bloat our vendor database with hundreds of vendors.

Kind regards,

Peter

Hi,

Our vendors said that if they click on the PDFs in the Vendor Portal (now the download icon or the Download all button), they get the PDF contents in code instead of actually seeing the PDF. 

We tested this in Chrome and FireFox on different PCs and the result is the same (see attached screenshot).

We have been thinking that it would be a good idea to have the status of the Vendors changed as happen with the Clients' status. That way, every vendor who has already collaborated with your company would have the status of "Active" unless you change it (because s/he is no longer active or because you had a bad experience with that vendor or his/her data is incomplete).

What do you think? How do you deal with vendors status? We think it is a waste of time to change it manually to active as, if we have just worked with that provider, it is sure s/he is active!

Thank you!
