To give vendors access to NetSuite and assign roles to them, the ‘Vendor Access feature’ must be enabled.
You can assign multiple roles to customize the level of access needed by a specific vendor. For example, the Vendor Center role enables a vendor to view prior transactions and open purchase orders.
To enable the Vendor Access feature:
- Go to Setup > Company > Enable Features.
- Click the Web Presence subtab.
- Check the Vendor Access box.
- Click Save.
