How to suspend a vendor

If one of your vendors falls into non-compliance, Felix gives you the ability to suspend the vendor. Suspending a vendor precludes them from participating in sourcing activities such as receiving and responding to RFQs, as well as being engaged via the browse panel until their account has been reinstated.

Tip:  Felix has the ability to automatically suspend vendors who fall into non-compliance due to expired compliance documents. You can learn more about the Automatic Suspension feature in our guide, Understanding automatic vendor suspension.
