Odoo Vendor Portal

Let Vendors View, Price, and Sign RFQs Online

Chasing vendors by email for quotation updates, then re-entering their pricing by hand, slows procurement down at every step. Odoo Vendor Portal gives suppliers a direct, self-service way to see their Requests for Quotation and Purchase Orders, update unit pricing themselves, and finalize the document with an online accept-and-sign action — all without leaving Odoo.

Why Give Vendors Direct Portal Access?

When an RFQ moves to the Sent state, the assigned vendor can log into their portal account and see it immediately, instead of waiting on an email round-trip. The Odoo Vendor Portal removes the back-and-forth of manually relaying price changes and approvals, putting that responsibility directly in the vendor's hands while keeping the record inside Odoo.
