As the Client Administrator, you have two different ways to invite a supplier to register. First, you can invite a new supplier by clicking on the <INVITE NEW> icon. When you click on the “Invite New” icon, you are inviting a supplier to register, who is not included in the SIO Master Database. You need to enter all of the information. When you click on <INVITE> (and not <INVITE NEW>), you are inviting a supplier to register with your company, who already is in the SIO Master Database. Hence, some of the fields you see will be pre-populated, especially if SIO has the information in its SIO Master Database. When you click <NEXT>, you will see a system generated invitation from SIO Solutions to register as a supplier. Or, if you prefer, you may delete the system generated email and compose one yourself in the space provided for 120 characters. After, you just hit Send to send it to the supplier or cancel. Whether you use <INVITE NEW> or <INVITE>, your invitee will receive an email and you will receive confirmation that “Your invite has been sent.”
