GOAL
How to setup and configure the RFI (Request For I nformation) for Prospective Supplier Registration.
SOLUTION
There are 2 alternative options to create RFI for prospective suppliers:
First method:
Setup:
1. Create an RFI template with Negotiation Style that has the "Suppliern Registration and Pre-Qualification in
RFI " control enabled.
2. Associate this RFI template in the Onboarding Configuration (Purchasing responsibility > Setup > Profile
Management Configuration > Supplier Onboarding Configuration)
Flow:
1. Prospective supplier self-register (or buyer submits a new supplier request).
2. As buyer user, go to the "New Supplier Request" or "Prospective Supplier Registrations" link (depending on
how the supplier was registered).
3. Click the Review icon.
4. Click on the "Apply Template" button.
This will automatically create a new RFI using the above template, add the prospective supplier to the RFI ,
and publish the RFI .
5. The prospective supplier will get a notification with a link to the registration page.
6. Prospective supplier clicks the Update icon in the Pre-Qualification and Evaluation RFI .
7. Prospective supplier responds to the RFI from the registration page.
8. Submit the registration only if the RFI information can be entered.
Note: When supplier is responding to the registration, the RFI does not show as required. We cannot
enforce the required fields criteria unless user launches the RFI Panel (by clicking update icon for the
specific RFI ). This is the standard way any OA Framework page works.

As a workaround, to make the users aware of the required RFI to respond, the suggested option is to
include 'mandatory/ required' tag in the RFI title.
Second method:
1. Prospective supplier registers using external URL.
