Associate with an additional vendor

The portal can associate you with an additional vendor account. The process is similar to a new registration; however, only the validation information is required.

Additional vendor association is useful for handling accounts receivable functions for more than one business entity, as well as for conducting a business relationship with a buyer with multiple vendor numbers (for example, one vendor number for the "Sold-by" entity and another for the "Invoiced-by" entity).

To associate with an additional vendor, complete the following steps.

  1. On the Log on page, click the Connect to new vendor account link.
    You need to log off if you are currently logged in.
  2. Validate your user account. Complete one of the following actions.
