Supplier Directory not updated with Released status after the trasnfer

Question

Hello Experts,
I need your help to resolve an issue.
We are implementing SRM 5.0 with ROS Client and EBP Client in place to manage Supplier Self REgistration and EBP.
When I trasnfer an accepted Supplier from ROS Client to EBP Client via OPI to create a Bidder in EBP and then extend the transferred supplier to Vendor status, I am able to see the ROS relationship established in the Vendor tab. But the Supplier still exist in Supplier directory. According to documentation, the status of supplier in ROS client will be automatically set to released and based in the status in EBP, the supplier status will be updated in the ROS - supplier directory.
Also I tried to convert the supplier to Vendor(instead of Bidder) and maintained all the appropriate fields. But still the problem exists.
Please let me know
1. Do I need to initiate any workflow for this?
2. Is the any notes to correct the issue?
3. Is there any config related to this?
Regards.
Vijay

Hi Vijay
ROS BP status is set to 'Released' only when you use SUS.
1) When you create vendor in EBP from ROS, check PORTAL Vendor
2) You should have mapped relevant XI mappings to transfer vendor from EBP to SUS.
When a Portal vendor is ticked and BP is saved in EBP, a XML message is generated and sent to SUS to create BP .
This XML message also updates the status in ROS to 'Released'.
