Vendor Portal Access

JobNext provides a vendor portal that allows vendors to interact with the system directly. When enabled, vendors can:

  • View RFQs — Access quotation requests sent to them
  • Submit Offers — Enter their quotations directly into the system
  • View Purchase Orders — Access approved POs issued to them
  • Track Payments — View payment status and history

Setting Up Portal Access

  1. Enable Portal Access In the vendor record, enable the portal access option. This activates the vendor's ability to log into the JobNext vendor portal.
  2. Configure Credentials Set up login credentials for the vendor, typically using their registered email address as the username. An invitation email can be sent to the vendor with instructions.
  3. Define Access Permissions Configure what the vendor can view and do in the portal based on your organization's requirements.

  • Keep records current — Update vendor contact details, bank information, and tax registrations whenever they change
  • Categorize properly — Assign the correct vendor type to enable proper filtering and reporting
  • Enable portal access — For regular vendors, enabling portal access streamlines the quotation and order process
