A vendor who is registered on the Portal has to be mapped by a SpecPDM vendor. To be able to map a vendor, you need to know the vendor's SpecPDM ID.
1)Go to Administration/General/Partner structure and select the partner you want to map. Write down the ID and go to the Portal.
2)Open the Interface tab under Settings. Open the selection list and select the type Partner. Then click on Insert new.
3)A new line is added to the table.
5)Enter the partner ID from SpecPDM into the first column and click on the pencil 
icon.
6)Select the corresponding vendor from the list of all vendors registered in the Portal. You can search for the vendor using the search fields located on top.
7)The Portal ID is filled in automatically. Save your settings. The vendor is now mapped.
You only have to map the vendor if the form was sent from the Portal. If the form comes from SpecPDM, the mapping process occurs automatically.
