For supplier lists that require suppliers to be manually approved, the Super Admin or a Panel Administrator will need to approve each supplier before they are active on the list.

This is set within the Supplier List settings on the Settings & Options tab. You can find more information here: Creating a Supplier List - Settings & Options.

Once a supplier has been invited to your list and they have completed setting up their profile, you will see an Approve suppliers button below the Critical Tasks notifications on your home page. Click this to view all your lists with suppliers awaiting approval.

Next, click the number in the “Suppliers” column, to the right of the relevant list.

All suppliers not yet approved onto your list(s) will appear here, even if they have not met any qualification or compliance requirements you have set. Make sure you check they have met any requirements before approving the supplier. You can check this, along with their business details, by clicking the supplier’s name which appears in blue along the left.

To approve a supplier, tick the box in the Approve? column to their right (circled below). Click the Approve Checked button at the bottom, to approve the supplier(s) you have selected.
