(Chinese)How to invite your supplier to upload documents into your file in ProductIP
Invite your supplier
We have an extended explanation for inviting your supplier
Via an Invite you connect a supplier to a file, not to your account. Your supplier can upload the documents directly into the file.
Your supplier will get an email.
He has to register There is no charge for that.
You can select which documents you want to receive from the supplier. If you do not make a selection, all documents will be requested from those requirements that have not been fulfilled or declared not applicable.
Review and link the documents
At the moment you receive documents (test reports), the specified standards mentioned on the requirementlist are your guide to check if you have received the correct evidence.
You need to read and check the test report:
- Is this about my product (check the picture)?
- Who performed the test
- When was the test performed
- What is the result
When the documents meet the necessary requirements, Match-it can be used to link the document to the requirements, so that you have an overview of whether you have the complete documentation. In case of a transition period, you can either tick off the requirements or declare them not applicable.
Communicate with your supplier
Once the supplier has accepted the invite, you can communicate with each other via the platform. You can use the timeline tab.
Please note, that if the invitation is not accepted, no email will be sent.
