What status does a supplier have to be in to submit changes?

A supplier must be in the "Approved" status to submit changes. This is because only approved suppliers have met the necessary criteria and validations as defined by the organization's procurement policies. Being in the approved status signifies that all compliance checks have been completed and the supplier is recognized as a valid supplier willing to engage in official transactions and communication.

In this context, a supplier in other statuses such as draft or pending may still be undergoing assessment or may not have completed the onboarding process, which restricts their ability to submit modifications to their information. An inactive supplier, on the other hand, is typically not engaged in business activities and therefore does not have the right to propose any changes to their supplier status or details. Thus, the approved status is essential for enabling suppliers to take proactive steps in managing their profiles within the procurement system.
