¶ Overview
In TecCom Portal, suppliers now have the possibility to set up a membership profile. This is a further development of the supplier profile from TecLocal. The settings are only effective for customers who use TecCom Portal.
Suppliers can set up general settings for units of measurements, currencies, material handling and maker codes as well as upload their own Supplier Logo to be displayed in the shopping cart of the orderer.
In addition, request, express and stock order settings can be set up, with general options, dispatch modes, mandatory and supported fields, as well as adding informative texts.
The profile can be saved as well as activated and deactivated.
