No POs found when entering with vendor role/contact person for vendor

Question

Dear colleagues,
I wanted to post either a GR or an invoice as a vendor, that is, entering the system as the contact person of the vendor, with the vendor role, and searching for the POs created for me as vendor, then selecting one of them.
However, when searching for POs to post the documents with reference to POs, the report says there are no POs available, when in fact I have created several POs for that vendor in the systems.
What might I be missing? What are the conditions, rules, configuration steps needed so that the vendor can see the POs created for him and post subsequent documents with the role SAP_BBP_STAL_VENDOR and entering the system as a contact person for that vendor?
Will award points for helpful answers. Thanks in advance
David

Hi David,
This scenario which you require for receiving P.Os,sending P.O response, posting confirmation and invoice is called
SUS (Supplier self service) scenario.
You have to configure this scenario to avail all these services and the vendor should be SUS vendor. A mere vendor role will not allow the vendor to perform all these functions.
XI (Exchange infrastructure) is required in configuring the SUS scenario.
Hope this resolves your query.
