Workday-Procure-to-Pay Exam - Topic 4 Question 4 Discussion

Supplier portal access in Workday is granted through Workday user accounts that are associated with individual supplier contact records, meaning a contact representing a real person at the supplier must exist on the supplier record before a Workday account can be linked to that person for login purposes. The Official Workday Pro Procure-to-Pay Guide describes the correct sequence as first adding the supplier contact to the supplier record, and then creating a Workday account for that supplier contact, establishing the credential that allows the individual to log into the supplier portal. Option A is incorrect because creating an initial requisition has no bearing on, and is not a prerequisite for, granting supplier portal access. Option B is incorrect because adding a supplier address provides location information but does not establish a person, the supplier contact, who can be associated with a login account. Option C is incorrect because the sequence is reversed; a Workday account must be linked to an existing supplier contact, so the contact record must be created first, not after the account.
