A Lite Supplier is a set of details for a supplier you wish to purchase from. These details (including the purchase order and email address) are entered or uploaded and managed by users with the Community Administrator or Community Supplier Administrator role.
This means the supplier does not have access to Unimarket to manage their profile once created. However, buyers are able to create/submit manual POs (non-catalog) sent via email to the community.
If you only have one or two Lite Suppliers to add, this method may be easier than bulk entry uploading them using a CSV file.
You can read below to find out more information on Creating Lite Suppliers or watch this short video:
Creating a Lite Supplier
To create a lite supplier, go to the Administration module > click Suppliers > select Create Lite tab > click +Create Lite Supplier.
Once completed, a pop up window will appear where you can enter the suppliers details.
The Company and Currency fields are required. If the user desire orders placed in Unimarket to be sent to the supplier, enter an Order Email address.
Click Add to finish or Add More if you desire to enter additional Lite Suppliers.
