Enabling the Use Cases
By default, none of the use cases for the vendor portal are enabled. You must enable each of them individually by editing the custom.lcs.properties file.
Enabling the Materials Use Case
To enable the materials use case, enter jsp.vendorportal.VendorPortalSideMenu.useMaterial=true into the property file. In addition to entering this property setting, you must also allow the vendor to view the root type of the Material type. The vendor must already be linked to the material object by way of a supplier. This allows vendors to see the Materials link.
Enabling the Product Use Case
To enable the product use case, enter jsp.vendorportal.VendorPortalSideMenu.useProduct=true into the property file. In addition to entering this property setting, you must also allow the vendor to view the root type of the Product type. This allows vendors to see the Product link.
Enabling the RFQ Use Case
To enable the RFQ use case, enter jsp.vendorportal.VendorPortalSideMenu.useRFQ=true into the property file. In addition to entering this property setting, you must also allow the vendor to view the root type of both the Season and Product types. This allows vendors to see the RFQ link.
Enabling the Samples Use Case
To enable the samples use case, enter jsp.vendorportal.VendorPortalSideMenu.useSample=true into the property file. In addition to entering this property setting, you must also allow the vendor to view the root type of both the Season and Sample types. This allows vendors to see the Samples link.
