Suppliers updating their Marketplace List Active Status

  • Updated

This article explains how a Vendor Admin can set their company's profile as Inactive on a Marketplace Supplier list or delete the profile entirely. Use this feature to control your company's visibility to Buyers for new requests.

Prerequisites

  • You must be logged in as a Vendor Admin.

  • The list must be a Marketplace Supplier List (you cannot do this for a Preferred Supplier List).

Steps

  1. Navigate to Supplier Lists.

    Select Admin Tools -> Supplier Lists you manage (This option is available either in the top menubar or the left-side menu on the homepage).

  2. Change the Active Status.

    Find the Marketplace list you want to update and click on the green Active link in the Active Status column to the right of the list name.

    • Result: The status link will change from a green Active to a red Inactive. To switch it back, simply click the link again.

  3. Delete the Profile (Optional).

    If the status is Inactive and you or your colleagues have not submitted any responses for that specific Supplier list, a red trash can icon will appear10. Click this icon to delete your profile from the list.

Results / Validation

  • When your profile is Inactive or Deleted, Buyers will no longer see your profile on that list and cannot invite you to new requests.

Limits & Notes

  • Deletion Restriction: You can only delete your profile from a list if you and your colleagues have not made any responses (even unsuccessful ones) on that specific list.

    • If any responses exist, you can only set your profile to Inactive due to the requirement for historical data.

  • Preferred Supplier Lists: Only a Panel Administrator can set a supplier as Inactive or Delete them from a Preferred Supplier List.
