Managing Primary Supplier Managers

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to manage the primary supplier manager in the Contacts detail area of the supplier profile.

Primary Supplier Manager Assignments

Each supplier can have one assigned primary supplier manager. You can assign any person in your organization who has a user account in your site as the primary supplier manager. In sites that use modular supplier management questionnaires, the primary supplier manager can receive notifications of expiring or expired questionnaires. In sites that include the Supplier Management dashboard, you can filter both supplier searches and the information in the My Suppliers dashboard area by primary supplier manager.

Note

The My Suppliers area is only available in solutions that include SAP Ariba Supplier Lifecycle and Performance.

You can assign, reassign, or remove a primary supplier manager in the supplier's profile. Customer administrators in your organization can also manage primary supplier manager assignments by importing them into your site in a CSV data file. The most recent assignment, whether made manually in the supplier profile or through data import, is always the current assignment.
