About SupplierExpress
24 Kofax SupplierExpress Administrator's Guide
The link opens the SupplierExpress registration page, which allows the supplier to
register and join your supplier community.
When a supplier logs in, SupplierExpress verifies the login information and opens the
invoice inquiry page for the supplier. When the supplier selects invoices, the service retrieves
information from the ERP system or MarkView (for MarkView integrations) and displays the
related information.
Open Enrollment Process
The Open Enrollment feature lets you set up a URL where your suppliers can ask to register
with your SupplierExpress portal. Your company reviews all supplier requests to register.
▪ If you accept a request, SupplierExpress sends the supplier an email with an invitation to
join.
▪ If you reject a request, SupplierExpress sends the supplier an email notification that you
rejected the request.
You can modify the email message in both cases. Use the email to include additional
company contact information or to tell the supplier why you rejected the request.
Supplier Maintenance
Supplier Maintenance lets you manage settings for all of your invited suppliers from a central
location. Supplier Maintenance lets you view and edit supplier configurations, see which
suppliers are active, and identify which suppliers were invited but have not registered.
From the suppliers list, you can also select registered suppliers and take action on those that
you selected. For example, you can disable or enable selected suppliers, configure invoice
submission settings, configure Approvers for invoice submission, and change supplier
settings.
Settings that you make for individual suppliers in Supplier Maintenance override global
supplier settings.
SupplierExpress with SAP
Vendor Partnering
If your company sets up suppliers to use Partner Functions in SAP, SupplierExpress lets
you specify those functions during configuration. When you specify the allowed Partner
Functions in SupplierExpress, you open SupplierExpress to allow partner companies to view
their invoices.
SupplierExpress works without Partner Functions if your suppliers do not use them.
SAP Invoice Types
Using SAP Invoice Types, you can control the type of invoices that appear on the
SupplierExpress Invoice Inquiry tab. You can specify standard and custom invoice types.
