Determining Supplier Status

There are six different types of supplier statuses in CalUsource. Generally, almost all suppliers in the system (except for Rejected) can be used for Sourcing events. However, the system is more stringent on the types of suppliers that can be used for Contracts.

The table below outlines the different supplier statuses, with definitions and their availability for Contracts and Sourcing.

Status	Definition	Available for Contracts	Available for Sourcing
Approved	Supplier has been approved for use
Normalized	Supplier has been approved for use in contracts and has an associated JAGGER supplier record in uBuy
Identified	Supplier has been identified but not invited to complete a profile.
Invited	Supplier has been identified but not invited to complete a profile. They have not completed the registration process.
Registered	Supplier has completed the registration process.
Rejected	Supplier has been rejected and is not available for use. Please check the comments in the profile for guidance.

Determining a Supplier's Status

Conduct a search for your supplier.

In the returned search results, you will be able to view the supplier's status next to the supplier's name.

Click on the supplier to access their supplier profile and you can also view the supplier's status under the Basic Details section.

Tips

• A supplier must have an Approved or Normalized status to execute a contract in CalUsource.
• A supplier needs to go through the supplier approval process to obtain an Approved or Normalized status.
• Start the supplier approval process when you begin negotiating a contract, so that when the contract is fully executed, the supplier will be approved which will make loading your contract into CalUsource quick and easy.
