Additional information about Unknown supplier

Unfortunately, we do not have an extensive portal article about this as mentioned in the webinar. Only this brief piece of text is available. That is why we provide some additional information in this article.


When the 'unknown supplier' functionality is enabled, a user can make an order request based on a description. At the top of a 'manual order request' you will then get the option 'unknown supplier'. This is selected and the orderer only needs to fill in the description. The other fields are then optional. The order is then sent to the Purchasing department, which can complete the order and then order it.


This functionality is often used when there are agreements with a specific supplier. The orderer knows “I would like to order a chair”, but does not know where and whether there are contractual agreements with specific suppliers. This way you keep control of the ordering process, but you can maintain control over where exactly the products are ordered.
