A separate signed-in surface, not a shared login
The portal is its own application with its own login screen, kept apart from the ERP application customers and suppliers must never enter. A customer or supplier signing in never sees a menu, a screen or a permission that belongs to your finance staff — only the small set of pages built specifically for them.
Customer home at a glance
The moment a customer signs in they land on a home page summarising their own position with the business — outstanding balance and recent activity — rather than a blank dashboard or a menu they have to figure out on their own.
Customer invoices, current and historical
A customer can see every invoice raised against their account, current and historical, without a phone call to accounts. This is the single most common reason a customer contacts finance today, and it becomes a self-service lookup instead.
Customer statement, self-served
The customer's own account statement is available on demand instead of being emailed periodically and going stale the moment a new invoice or payment posts. The statement a customer sees is always the current one, not last month's snapshot.
Supplier home, new in Enfinity
The supplier side of the portal is new in Enfinity — the legacy product had no supplier-facing equivalent. A supplier signing in lands on their own home page summarising their standing with your business, the same idea as the customer home but built for the other side of the ledger.
Supplier purchase orders
A supplier sees the open purchase orders placed with them — what was ordered, in what quantity, and its current status — without emailing the buyer to ask. This is read-only visibility into orders your own procurement team raised; the supplier cannot create or amend an order from here.
Supplier statement — the call accounts payable fields most
A supplier sees their own submitted bills and payment status directly — exactly the question that otherwise lands on the accounts payable desk as a phone call or an email. The supplier reads their standing; they cannot post, dispute or amend a bill from the portal itself.
Read-only by design on the supplier side, this release
The supplier side of the portal is deliberately read-only in this release. A supplier cannot submit a bill, dispute a purchase order, or edit any record through the portal — they can only view what your team has already posted. We say this plainly rather than implying a submission workflow that does not yet exist.
Cross-party isolation as the primary guarantee
Isolation between parties is the portal's central promise and its most heavily tested behaviour: one supplier can never see another supplier's orders or statement, and one customer never another customer's invoices. A record that doesn't belong to the signed-in party behaves as if it doesn't exist, rather than returning a permission error that confirms it does.
Hosted pay links, no portal account required
A customer can settle an invoice from a hosted pay link sent to them, without ever creating a portal account at all — useful for a one-off payer who will never need ongoing self-service. This is disabled by default until a signing key and base URL are configured, so it is never a live surface by accident.
Portal activity in the ERP audit trail
Every portal sign-in and view falls under the same ERP audit trail as any other access to your data, so an access grant is not a blind spot — what a customer or supplier looked at is recorded the same way staff access is.
