Overview How to create a Vendor Inbox account. Create a Vendor Inbox Account When creating a new Vendor Inbox account for a vendor, there are two parts: The OneStrata user sends an invite to the vendor to register for Vendor Inbox. The vendor responds to the invitation and completes their Vendor Inbox account registration on their own. Invite a Vendor to Vendor Inbox   This section applies to a OneStrata user who wants to invite a third-party vendor to Vendor Inbox. A vendor is invited to Vendor Inbox when they are  sent an order on behalf of an In-System Order Partner : If the vendor already has a Vendor Inbox account, they receive an email notifying them that they have a new order to review in Vendor Inbox. If the vendor does not have a Vendor Inbox account, they receive an email inviting them to create a Vendor Inbox account. Once they complete their account registration, they can log in to Vendor Inbox and review the order. To invite a vendor to Vendor Inbox, in OneStrata, do the following: For the Order Partner that the order will be sent to, make sure that: The Order Partner is configured for  in-system order confirmation  (in the Order Partner record, the value of  Order Approval Confirmation Setting  is  In System Vendor Confirmation ). The email domain of the vendor's email address is  added to the Order Partner record . Send the order (follow the instructions for  sending an order to an In-System Order Partner ): For the  Vendor Contact Email Address  field, enter the email address of the person you are inviting to Vendor Inbox.
