Category Manager: Supplier Onboarding and PDX Channel Account Invitation
A category manager creates a new supplier entity from the homepage of the Web UI, using the ‘Create New Supplier’ link. Find similar is applied to the legal name. If it finds an existing similar candidate, that candidate is chosen for enrichment. If not, the new entity is saved.
GLNs can be entered at this point, and the active product onboarding flag will determine if it is saved to the entity only, or if a unique GLN location classification object is generated and maintained. The ‘Send Product Onboarding’ button is made available and is used by the category manager to invite users to PDX.
Once the category manager has finalized any enrichment, the supplier entity will flow through the rest of the onboarding workflow, allowing each user group persona to contribute. Ultimately, the supplier entity is approved by a STEP specialist.
For further information on the steps required to enable suppliers to access channel accounts in PDX, refer to Onboarding 1 - Giving Suppliers Access to PDX topic in the Accelerator for Retail enablement documentation here.
