Suppliers select or are allocated categories when registered on a Supplier List that line up with their area of service. Within the list settings, it can be dictated whether Suppliers have the ability to manage their own categories in their accounts or not. Either way, the categories selected for a Supplier on an internal Supplier List can be managed by the Super Admin or the Panel Administrators.
- Select Enterprise Supplier Lists under the Admin Tools menu (either in the top menubar or on the homepage on the left-side menu).
- Click on the number in the Suppliers column against the list the supplier is registered on, and you will see the suppliers on that list.
- Find the supplier in the list, click on the blue arrow on the right next to the relevant Supplier and select Categories.
- You will then see a list of all the categories that have been linked to the Supplier List. Check/uncheck categories to allocate to this supplier.
- If Suppliers CANNOT manage their own categories on the list, the categories they are allocated will be their set categories on the list.
- If Suppliers CAN manage their own categories on the list, they will only be able to select from the categories they've been allocated here.
- Once you've made your selections click on the Update button to save.
Please note
If any categories are listed in red as Excluded, this means that the suppliers on this Supplier List are able to manage their own categories and the supplier has chosen to deselect this category in their account. You cannot select a category for a supplier that they excluded themselves.
