Buyers often have a list of pre-qualified providers that they use regularly for their procurement activities.  360 allows the buyer to define and manage the relationship between the two entities.

An active association allows the provider to browse the buyer's public requests and the buyer to select the provider for invitation-only requests.

Step-by-step guide

To create an association between a buyer and a provider:

  1. Sign-in to https://360users.apetsoftware.com.au/ as a Boss or Provider Manager

  2. From the main menu, click Providers
  3. Click Search All
  4. Search for the provider by legal entity name, trading name, ABN, or email address that is not associated with your organisation
  5. Click View Provider Details
  6. Click Create Relationship
  7. Set Associated Provider to Yes
  8. Alter all or any of the information below:
    1. Preferred Provider
    2. Locations
    3. Location Presence Score
    4.  Notes
  9. Click Save

Active associations allow the buyer's organisation to appear in the provider's 360's Public Buyers list.  They are also able to find the buyer's public requests when they search.
