Unlike the URLs included in notification emails, the supplier portal gives you access, depending on your rights, to an overview of your activity with your customer. Access to the portal is through a link available in a URL entry screen or a link available directly in a notification email. In any event you must be granted access by the buyer, which will result in an email inviting you to create your password.
Information : if you are using the supplier portal for multiple customers you can toggle from one customer to another by clicking on the "bullet points" icon at the bottom left of the screen alongside your user name
