Setting up primary data for ShoppingHub

Create primary data of your suppliers and office locations that your suppliers deliver to. Define your product catalog with data of your product categories, product models, and supplier products. Define shopping controls to control the supplier product visibility to your employees.

Add a supplier
Add suppliers and their products to populate your primary data.
Add office locations
Add all the office locations that your suppliers deliver to in your primary data. That way, your employees using Shopping Hub can select any of these pre-approved office locations for delivery while placing an order for a product.
Add delivery locations
Add the address that can be selected by the user to have the product delivered. You can add multiple delivery locations.
Setting up your product catalog
You can set up your product catalog by grouping the supplier products that you want to appear on the Shopping Hub portal into product categories and product models.
Lead time calculations
Lead time (in days) of a supplier product consist of the time for sourcing, supplier onboarding, purchasing, and shipping for a supplier product, product model, or a product category. Each of these durations are used to calculate the total lead time which determines the number of days to execute a purchase order.
Ledger assignment rules
When a purchase line is created for a purchase requisition on the ShoppingHub portal, the details of capex account, expense account, and pre-paid account are auto-populated based on applicable ledger assignment rules.
Create shopping controls
Set conditions to control the visibility of supplier products for an employee or a department who visits the Shopping Hub portal. Shopping Hub administrators can manage access to products based on categories, suppliers, or any attribute related to a supplier product.
Configure delegate for a shopper
Configure your employees as delegates to shop on behalf of someone else. For these employees, the Shopping as option is available on the Shopping Hub homepage to shop as a delegate.
ShoppingHub configurations
ShoppingHub configurations control the shopper experience for procurement workflows, including request modifications and sourcing checkouts.
