Supplier Configuration

Suppliers provide workers for requisitions and projects that a client organization creates. All workers that are sourced for a client organization flow to the client through defined suppliers. Each supplier has their information recorded in the application, and a defined service type agreement activated so that agreed upon fees for each worker can be added to a requisition appropriately.

Supplier organizations are created by SysAdmin or MSP Admin users. The organization 'shell' needs to be created in order to complete supplier onboarding. Onboarding involves gathering and maintaining contracts, RFI packets, and other required information. After the supplier 'shell' is created, onboarding marked 'complete' by a validation team, service type agreements activated, and associated with a client organization, the supplier organization is considered active in the system.

In addition to adding suppliers to sourcing requests, you can define which suppliers are available, and when they are available for selection. Your client organization can define a preferred vendor tier system based on the job type that is requested. For more information about vendor tiers, see Supplier Tiers.

Supplier records are added the application during client organization implementation. To add a supplier organization for a client, contact your Program Representative.
