A current supplier at Rice University will be kept live in our system until there are no transactions registered for a period of thirteen months. If a supplier is removed for our system, they will be required to re-register if a new demand for their goods and/or services is presented to the P2P Department.

How do Rice departments request a supplier be added to iO?
All suppliers will be required to manage their own supplier profiles in iO. Further details on that process can be found below under "Prospective Suppliers".

Once Procure to Pay receives the request, we will reach out to the suppliers with their login information and a link to the information listed below, which includes Job Aids on how to manage and complete the portal.
