Use these steps to set a supplier as Registered without going through an internal or external registration process. In registrations that use the Set Registered option, internal users in your organization choose this option in the supplier's profile, and the supplier doesn't participate at all. The Set Registered option is available only after the supplier request is approved and the supplier is in Not Invited status.
Prerequisites
- The self-service configuration parameter Application.SM.Registration.DisplaySetRegisteredOption must be enabled in your site.
- You must be a member of the Supplier Registration Manager or SM Ops Administrator group to set a supplier's status as Registered.
Steps
Locate the supplier you want to set as registered on the Supplier Management dashboard.
Hint
In supplier search results, you can filter by the registration status Not Invited to show new suppliers who haven't yet been invited to register.Choose the supplier's name to open their profile.
Perform one of the following actions to open the Registration detail area of the supplier’s profile:
- In the classic supplier 360° profile, choose Registration in the left-hand navigation bar.
- In the supplier's profile summary, choose the registration status link in the Supplier Status panel.
Choose Set Registered.
The following screenshot shows the Set Registered option in a supplier’s profile:
Result
When you choose this option, the system immediately sets the supplier's status to Registered. In addition, the system synchronizes supplier data with your ERP systems automatically or with manual intervention, depending on how your site is configured. This data becomes available for supplier qualifications or use in other SAP Ariba procurement applications.
Next Steps
After setting a supplier as Registered, you can still start an internal or external registration. However, if you do so, the registration process begins, and the Set Registered option won't be available again unless you cancel the newly started registration.
