The Supplier Invitation Form includes several required fields upon initial view and the required fields increase based on selecting the supplier as Indirect, Direct or Both.

Search for existing suppliers by clicking All Suppliers on the dashboard prior to inviting a new supplier. Any invitation not submitted within 14 days will be deleted from the system.

It is recommended to select the Supplier Purchasing Type first: Indirect, Direct, or Both Indirect and Direct before completing subsequent supplier invitation fields. Changing the Supplier Purchasing Type after entering supplier information removes some values in the Supplier Classification Questions and Sourcing Information sections.

Direct suppliers provide parts and raw materials that are needed to manufacture and maintain GE Healthcare products. Indirect suppliers provide goods and services used for GE Healthcare business operations (e.g., office supplies, training, consulting, etc.).
