SCM with Supplier Portal organizes purchase request review and supplier acknowledgements alongside requisitions, sourcing, purchase orders and receipt evidence. A requester states the need; an independent reviewer decides on the request; an approver decides the buying authority; a buyer handles supplier selection and order changes.

Click Get started, then use Proto to configure SCM with Supplier Portal for your business. Begin with one organization, one supplier and a purchase request that can be followed through receipt.
An independent reviewer records the decision and reason against the request revision. The buying approval for a requisition or order follows its own authority scope.
A supplier acknowledgement can retain confirmed units and an ASN reference against its parent purchase request. The Buyer reviews any difference.
A request for quote retains criteria weights and invited suppliers. Response lines preserve the quoted scope, price and lead time, while comparison scores show the documented basis for an award.
An order amendment retains the changed revision and approval decision; its lines hold the before and after values. The issued order revision remains identifiable.
Master agreements and contract rates define the approved supplier terms. Blanket releases record a call-off and its commitment effect.
Receipt lines distinguish received, accepted and rejected quantities. The order line continues to show its open quantity.
Match exceptions link the invoice reference to an order, line and, when available, a receipt. Buyer and Controller track resolution with accounts payable.
A period scorecard collects delivery, quality and price measures. Procurement Manager reviews the source evidence before publishing the result.
Accounts payable, inventory, warehouse and budgeting destinations are set up according to your operating process. Each delivery has a status and reconciliation owner.
Start free, then use Proto to change fields, steps and approvals before your team goes live.
