# Create Account Partner Request

> Request a Supplier Portal account for a business partner contact, with the roles, account type, and status the account should have.

A Create Account Partner request asks IT to create an account for a contact at a business partner, such as a subcontractor or consultant, so they can use the Supplier Portal. After you submit it, the request follows the configured approval workflow before being approved, rejected, or returned for revision.

## Create a Create Account Partner Request

### Prerequisites

Before submitting a Create Account Partner request:

* You must have an active employee account.
* The business partner and contact must already exist. The contact's name and email are filled in from the partner record.
