      What is a Catalog?

      A Catalog is a collection of Products and Prices that you can purchase from a Supplier.

      Supplier Managed Catalogs are created and managed by Suppliers registered with PurchasePlus.

      Self Managed Catalogs are created and managed directly by your Purchasing Organization, and are attributed to a Supplier of your choice.

      You can access Catalogs in two ways:

      1. Via the [Catalogs] section in the side navigation bar.

      2. Via the [Suppliers] section in the side navigation bar.

      3. Use [Advanced Search] or [Search by Catalog Name or Supplier Name].

      4. Click a [Catalog] to view the Products & Prices inside the Catalog.
