Adding a Supplier as a Requester

It may happen that you want to place an order with a supplier that you cannot find on the Requests page. If you have the appropriate permissions within the Spend Cloud, you can add a new supplier.

Adding a New Supplier

To add a new supplier, go to Procurement / Shopping Cart. Click on the 'Add Supplier' button at the top. Please make sure that you only see this button if you have the necessary permissions. If you wish, you can search for the supplier here based on name, location, and/or Chamber of Commerce (KvK) number. This applies only to Dutch companies. You can also click the 'Add' button to add a supplier.

Next, you will need to provide details. Then, click 'Save.'

Depending on the settings, the newly added supplier may need to be reviewed by a colleague from the procurement department before you can use the new supplier.

Preventing Duplicate Suppliers

You might be trying to add a supplier that already exists in your Spend Cloud. In that case, you will see the following message:

In that case, please contact the application administrator or the procurement department within your organization. They can provide you with the necessary permissions to place orders with this supplier.
