There are two different places in the 'Supply Network Manager' (PTN-OC) role to define Supplier Representatives, and each one serves a different purpose:

• Contacts 

  Represent key individuals within the supplier organization, such as executives, managers, or primary business contacts. This section serves as a centralized reference for maintaining important supplier-related information. Contacts are for visibility only, they do not log into the system or interact with requests. 

• Members 

  Are the actual supplier users who receive an invitation email to create a 3DEXPERIENCE ID and access the 'Supplier Connect Portal'. They respond to requests, and actively collaborate with the OEM through the 3DEXPERIENCE  platform. 
  
   

How? 
 

• Add a Contact (for visibility and reference)
  • Use the 'Supply Network Management' web app.
  • Open the relevant supplier and navigate to the Contacts tab. From there, create a new contact by entering details such as email, name, phone number, and business title. 
  • Use this section to maintain an up-to-date view of the supplier’s key stakeholders. 
     
• Add a Member (for system access and activity)
  • Use the 'Supplier Connect Admin' web app.
  • From the application Home Page, open the 'User Management' section. Invite a new supplier member by selecting the supplier entity and entering details such as email and discipline. 
  • The user will receive an invitation to set up access to the Supplier Connect Portal and will be able to actively engage with requests sent to them.
