eSourcing 5.1 - Supplier Registration Forms

[mani_chinnaiah]

I need some information on the configuration of supplier registration forms. We would need country based different flavors of the form. How do we configures this.

Thanks,

Hi Mani,

There are five different UI forms that could be used / customized with page customizations. These follow the urls:

/fsguestvendor/vendordesktop/register with UI ID vendormgmt.vendor_registration.ui.sellside.default,

/fsguestvendor/vendordesktop/register?ui=ui2 with UI ID vendormgmt.vendor_registration.ui.sellside.ui2,

/fsguestvendor/vendordesktop/register?ui=ui3 with UI ID vendormgmt.vendor_registration.ui.sellside.ui3,

/fsguestvendor/vendordesktop/register?ui=ui4 with UI ID vendormgmt.vendor_registration.ui.sellside.ui4, and

/fsguestvendor/vendordesktop/register?ui=ui5 with UI ID vendormgmt.vendor_registration.ui.sellside.ui5.

Basically you add all required fields as extensions to the supplier registration object, then use the page customizations and the appropriate UI ID to turn on/off/relabel fields as needed for each of the registration URLs.

Disseminate the appropriate URL to the suppliers for that country. You can also embed a language code in the URL to force the registration page to use the properly-translated values from the language pack or localized resource entry for that language. So a vendor registration URL for Spain might look like

http://yourcompany/sourcing/fsguestvendor/vendordesktop/register?ui=ui4&language=es&country=*

Unfortunately you only have five flavors of the form. So, if the data to be collected is very different you might have to resort to things like "only fill in this section if you are from Finland" or something like that if you have more than 5 combinations of fields to collect.
