Community Administrators and Community Supplier Administrators have the authority to disconnect a supplier from their community. Disconnecting a supplier is a significant action that effectively ends the active business relationship, within the Unimarket platform.
What Happens After Disconnection?
Once a supplier is disconnected:
Transactions Cease: The community can no longer initiate new transactions (orders, invoices, etc.) with the supplier.
Removal from Lists: The supplier is removed from your community's active "Connected Suppliers" list.
Mutual Disconnection: Your community will show as "Disconnected" within the supplier's own Unimarket profile.
How to Disconnect a Supplier
Navigate to the Administration module and select Suppliers.
In the Search Suppliers field, type the supplier's name.
Important: Clear the State field to ensure the supplier is found regardless of their current status.
Click the Magnifying Glass (Search) icon.
Click on the supplier's name to open their profile.
Click the More Actions button in the top right and select Disconnect.
A Disconnect Supplier pop-up will appear. You may enter a reason for the disconnection in the text box for your records.
Select OK to finalize.
Alternative: Restricting Access via Buyer Groups
If you do not want to fully sever the connection. But want to stop users from buying from a supplier, you don't have to disconnect them.
To restrict purchasing without disconnecting:
Go to the Settings tab of the supplier's profile.
Locate the Buyer Groups section.
Remove the supplier from the designated Buyer Groups.
This keeps the supplier "Connected" for administrative or reporting purposes but prevents users in those groups from initiating new transactions.
