Create and Update Your Customer Profiles

In the Coupa Supplier Portal (CSP), you have profiles for each of your customers you are connected with on the CSP, which allows you to customize the information your provide to your customers. Some of your customers may send you Information Requests that you complete to update your information with that customer.

You can see your onboarding progress on the Setup > Customer Setup page. If the bar underneath your customer's name is not completely filled in, you have not completed the onboarding process.

FAQ and Troubleshooting

How do the address sections work?

If your customer marked address sections as required, then you must complete the address. If you don't want to provide address information, select N/A in the dropdown. If the section is not required, you don't have to complete it. However, if you enter a country, you must complete the other fields.
