SyteLine Supplier Portal Configuration and Setup Guide
A supplier portal in Infor SyteLine extends procurement collaboration beyond email and phone by giving vendors direct, self-service access to their purchase orders, delivery schedules, and payment status. The Infor Supplier Exchange (ISX) module and the Infor OS portal framework enable configurable vendor-facing portals that reduce procurement communication overhead by up to 70% while improving order accuracy and delivery reliability.
Portal Access and Vendor Onboarding
Supplier portal deployment starts with configuring vendor user accounts, role-based access controls, and data visibility rules. The Infor OS User Management console defines portal user profiles that map to SLVendors records, ensuring each supplier sees only their own POs, forecasts, and payment data. Configure the onboarding workflow to register vendors with minimal IT involvement.
- Configure vendor portal user accounts in the Infor OS User Management console linked to SLVendors.VendNum for data scoping
- Set up role-based access permissions defining which portal features each vendor can access (PO view, ASN entry, invoice submission)
- Create a self-registration workflow where vendors request portal access and procurement administrators approve with a single click
- Define data visibility rules to restrict each vendor to their own purchase orders, payments, and quality data in the portal views
- Configure portal branding with your organization's logo, colors, and communication preferences on the Infor OS Portal Administration page
PO Acknowledgment and ASN Submission
The core supplier portal workflow enables vendors to acknowledge purchase orders and submit Advanced Shipping Notifications (ASNs) directly into SyteLine. PO acknowledgment updates the SLPoItems.AckDate field while ASN submission pre-populates the PO Receiving form with vendor-provided shipment details including quantities, lot numbers, and tracking information.
- Enable PO acknowledgment on the portal allowing vendors to confirm order acceptance and update expected delivery dates in SLPoItems
- Configure ASN (Advanced Shipping Notification) submission forms where vendors enter shipment quantities, carrier, and tracking numbers
- Set up automatic PO receiving pre-population from vendor ASN data to streamline warehouse receiving and reduce data entry errors
- Enable vendor delivery date change requests through the portal with buyer approval workflow before updating the PO due date
Invoice Submission and Payment Visibility
Extending the portal to invoice submission and payment status eliminates the most frequent vendor inquiry calls to your AP department. Configure the portal invoice entry form to create voucher records in the SLApVoucher IDO with automatic three-way match validation against PO and receipt data, dramatically reducing invoice processing time and errors.
- Configure portal invoice entry forms that validate vendor invoices against PO pricing and received quantities for automatic matching
- Enable payment status visibility showing vendors their invoice processing status, payment dates, and remittance details from SLApPayments
- Set up automatic invoice matching rules that auto-approve portal invoices within configurable price and quantity tolerance thresholds
- Configure portal notifications to alert vendors when invoices are received, approved, or flagged for discrepancy resolution
- Enable vendor statement reconciliation views showing open invoices, credits, and payment history for self-service account management
