Add a supplier or connect with another company on JobBuddy

  1. Open the workspace

    In JobBuddy, go to My Company → Connected Companies (#/admin/suppliers); catalog Suppliers (#/suppliers).

  2. Confirm access and starting state

    Company-admin access; valid external-company name/contact; recipient email for invitation.

  3. Complete the main setup

    Create the external company or supplier record, maintain its contact details and specialties, send or resend the invitation when eligible, recognize the On JobBuddy state, and review the connection before using Remove Link.

  4. Verify the result

    Create an external company record, invite an eligible company, recognize a claimed connection, and remove the link safely.

    Expected result: Create an external company record, invite an eligible company, recognize a claimed connection, and remove the link safely.

Troubleshooting

The page, control, or action is unavailable.

Confirm the required access and starting state: Company-admin access; valid external-company name/contact; recipient email for invitation.

The result is incomplete or unexpected.

A company/contact record can exist without being claimed; invitations, resend, On JobBuddy status, specialties, supplier use in catalog/expenses, and Remove Link have different effects.

The issue remains after checking the record.

Capture the exact visible error, record status, approximate time, and intended result. Give support only the minimum customer-safe evidence needed to trace the problem.

What happens next

  • Create an external company record, invite an eligible company, recognize a claimed connection, and remove the link safely.
  • Review the resulting record, status, notifications, and related history before continuing downstream work.
