Two tabs: Marketplace is the connection itself, Supplier mapping is what lets a marketplace order resolve to a supplier already in your system.

Marketplace#

Endpoint URL and Credentials (key=value, one per line) connect to the external marketplace; every non-production environment runs this against an in-process stub. Catalogue sync schedule sets how often the marketplace's product catalogue refreshes (e.g. Daily). Test connection verifies the endpoint and credentials without waiting for the next sync.

The toggle "Marketplace purchase orders require the existing approval step" decides whether an order placed through the marketplace still has to clear your property's own PO e-signature approval chain — on by default, so a new ordering channel does not accidentally create a spend path with no sign-off.

Supplier mapping#

An order from the marketplace names an external supplier; this table maps each one to the internal inv_suppliers row it actually means. Show unmapped only filters the list down to marketplace suppliers seen but not yet mapped — an unmapped supplier blocks purchase-order issue rather than posting against a guess.
