Requesters who have been granted Spot Buy privileges can create new suppliers when submitting a Spot Buy Non Catalog Request or Contractor Request.

This feature allows authorized users to make a quick decision to onboard a new source of supply if they are creating a Spot Buy order to satisfy an emergency purchase
requirement. Buyers can see that the supplier was created by a Spot Buy requester, and, if required, they can opt to further qualify the supplier for future purchases.
The key benefits of this feature include better service, accurate accounting, improved spend analysis, and a reduction in buyer’s workload.

Requesters can enter suggestions for a new supplier and then send an invite to a supplier contact to provide more details.
