Supplier On-boarding helping to solve
Leveraging your P2P solution
Get the most from electronic trading
Many standards and electronic trading approaches
After understanding what capabilities suppliers may have it then comes to the time to start on-boarding. However, you will then need to either dictate electronic trading processes which can mean slower roll-outs or you can spend time managing multiple connectivity methods or document formats, all slow going to manage in-house.
Specific trading circumstances
Self service
Many systems or processes cannot be made available to suppliers. Either due to the sensitivity of having a third party in your environment or there’s issues with licensing and or data restrictions. The greater number of options you can offer a supplier to trade electronically the better the uptake for them and your organization.

Automated supplier on-boarding
The supplier on-boarding workflow allows you to setup automatic on-boarding. If the suppliers details match what you hold in your system you can automatically on-board the supplier with no human intervention onto your supplier portal.
Supplier approval workflow
If you prefer to approve supplier on-boarding requests the workflow automatically notifies you when a supplier has requested access and you can manually review them and accept or reject their access.
B2BE assisted on-boarding
Of course B2BE can also manage on-boarding. This maybe access to the P2P Portal or with EDI integration, testing and setup. B2BE’s involvement can be a little or a lot.

Dashboard and application dashlets
Similarly there are snapshot dashlets to report supplier on-boarding in a quick and simple to view way via the Purchase to Pay Portal.

Self fulfillment
When a supplier has the tools available, via the Purchase to Pay Portal once on-boarded, to be able to answer their own questions this by definition means your staff will spend less time fielding supplier queries and this is good for both parties.
Process and document cost reductions
Engaging with your suppliers electronically with an end to end P2P solution will not only improve processes it will help drive down costs of doing business which is always a key ROI for any P2P solution.
