Managing and Editing Suppliers in Axya
This article explains how to add, manage, and edit supplier contacts in the Axya platform. It covers how to create a new supplier, associate contacts with procurement requests (RFQs or POs), and manage pending invitations.
Accessing the Suppliers Tab
-
From the Dashboard, click on the drop-down menu in the top left corner.
-
Select Suppliers from the list of available tabs.
Adding a New Supplier
-
Click the blue “Add Supplier” button.
-
Enter the email address of the supplier you wish to add.
-
The system will automatically detect whether the email domain already exists in the database.
-
If the company domain already exists (e.g.,
@axya.co), a list of existing companies will appear.
-
-
If the desired company does not appear, click “Create a New Supplier.”
-
Fill out the supplier information fields:
-
First Name and Last Name
-
Preferred Language (English or French)
-
Company Name
-
Supplier ID (optional)
-
Currency (optional, depending on supplier region: Canada, US, or Europe)
-
Modifying Supplier Contacts
-
Locate the supplier in your list (e.g., Admin Fab Company).
-
Click the pencil icon next to the distribution list to edit.
-
Add or modify the supplier’s email contact
-
Specify which types of requests this contact should handle:
-
RFQs (Requests for Quotation)
-
POs (Purchase Orders)
-
-
You can also send training information to introduce the supplier to Axya’s features for RFQs or POs.
-
Click “Send training email” to notify the supplier by email.
-
-
When finished, click “Save.”
Managing Pending Invitations
-
Go to the Invitations tab above the supplier list.
-
This section displays all pending supplier invitations that have not yet been accepted.
-
If no invitations are pending, the list will appear empty.
-
Best Practice: Always ensure supplier contact details and assigned responsibilities (RFQ/PO) are up-to-date to maintain efficient procurement workflows.
