Quick answer

The Vendor Portal module in Easedesk lets you give vendors self-service. Vendor login, invoice submission, and po acknowledgement — all in one place, designed for Indian SMEs.

What is the Vendor Portal module?

The Vendor Portal module in Easedesk ERP is built for Indian businesses that need to give vendors self-service without juggling spreadsheets or stitching together multiple tools. It is part of Easedesk's 50+ module unified platform.

It is included in every Easedesk subscription (subject to plan availability) and works out-of-the-box with sensible Indian defaults — INR currency, April–March fiscal year, GST-aware pricing, and Indian compliance.

Key features

Vendor Portal ships with the following capabilities:

  • Vendor login
  • Invoice submission
  • PO acknowledgement
  • Payment status

Who should use it?

Teams that give vendors self-service regularly will get the most value. Common users include procurement officers, store managers and warehouse staff.

Why teams choose Easedesk for this

Compared to standalone tools, Easedesk's Vendor Portal module gives you:

  • Less email
  • Faster bills
  • Vendor trust

Permissions required

Access to Vendor Portal is controlled by the Easedesk RBAC system. By default, the predefined roles that include access are typically Admin, Inventory Manager and the Viewer role (read-only). Owners can edit role permissions in Settings → Users & Roles.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Vendor Portal module do in Easedesk?
It lets you give vendors self-service from a single place inside Easedesk, with Indian-format defaults (INR, GST, April fiscal year) and audit-grade history.
Is Vendor Portal included in my Easedesk plan?
Vendor Portal is part of Easedesk's 50+ module platform and is available subject to your subscription plan. Most plans include it by default — check Settings → Billing for what your plan covers.
Who can access Vendor Portal?
Access is governed by role-based permissions. By default, Owner and Admin roles have full access; module-specific predefined roles (e.g. HR Manager for HR, Accountant for Finance) grant scoped access. You can customise this in Settings → Users & Roles.
Can Vendor Portal be disabled if my team doesn't need it?
Yes. Owners can disable any non-mandatory module under Settings → Modules. Disabled modules are hidden from the sidebar but their data is preserved if you re-enable later.
Where does Vendor Portal data come from?
Data is created either manually from the in-app forms, imported via CSV, ingested through the Easedesk API, or auto-generated from other modules (for example, journal entries created automatically when an invoice is posted).
