Work only on assigned records

The supplier portal is intentionally narrower than the buyer's procurement workspace.

• Confirm buyer, order number and currency.
• Open only records assigned to the active supplier context.
• Use record messages for clarification rather than a separate channel.

Maintain delivery evidence

Milestones and documents explain what was promised, shipped, received and accepted.

• Acknowledge the purchase order before fulfilment.
• Attach the approved shipment and delivery references.
• Record partial or rejected quantities explicitly.

Protect commercial state

Price, currency, statement and dispute data stays inside the supplier relationship.

• Do not change an accepted offer silently.
• Use a versioned correction for quantity or price changes.
• Reconcile the supplier statement after buyer acceptance.

Permissions and boundaries

• Supplier users see only assigned tenant relationships and supplier records.
• Offer, fulfilment and statement permissions can be assigned separately.
• Buyer customer data and unrelated supplier prices remain hidden.
