Adding a Product on Behalf of a Supplier

As a Community Owner, you will require your suppliers to share specific information about their products with you. You might also find the need to add a product for your suppliers from time to time. Once your supplier has accepted your invitation to join your Community, you have the ability to add this information on their behalf.

For more information on inviting suppliers, see the article Inviting Suppliers to Join a Community. For more information on adding products as a supplier, see the article Adding Products.

Steps to Add a Product for your Supplier

1. Log in to Connect and click on Products in the left navigation menu. Check to make sure you are on the Products Shared with Me tab.

2. Click Add Product in the upper right.

3. In the Add a Supplier Product pop up, select which supplier you are adding a product for, then choose the Product Type. Note: If you do not see the desired product type, you may need to check the Business Requirements section under your admin area. Read more about this in the article Assigning Requirements.

4. The product creation page will then appear. Fill out the information and click Save & Share. Note: If you do not fill out all required fields, Missing Attribute To-dos will populate the supplier’s dashboard. Read the article Supplier To-Do: Missing Attributes for more details.
