Document checklist
| Item | Owner | Source | Status | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| W-9 | Finance | Vendor folder | Ready | Low |
| SOC 2 Type II | Security | Trust center | Ready | Low |
| Insurance COI | Ops | Broker | Expiring May 15 | Medium |
| Bank details | Finance | Secure form | Needs approval | High |
Workflow
1. AE confirms procurement owner and portal deadline today.
2. Finance uploads tax and banking details by Wednesday.
3. Security attaches SOC 2 and DPA links.
4. Ops obtains updated COI before submission.
5. AE sends champion a status note once submitted.
Buyer status email
Hi [Name], we've completed the supplier registration items available to us and are waiting on [specific item]. Is there anything else that would prevent approval before [target date]?
Tips for Best Results
- 💡Confirm the portal owner early; champions often cannot see supplier registration status.
- 💡Track document expiration dates so an old certificate does not ambush quarter-end.
- 💡Use secure internal workflows for bank details, not email attachments.
- 💡Ask procurement what approval means: registered supplier, PO issued, or fully purchase-ready.
