a. Click on Communication Management>Project Partner Directory
b. Click Assign

2. Subcontractor Prequalification – Applicants
The subcontractors are now applying for prequalification via the Self Serve module. Once they are approved, CMiC will automatically create a vendor code for them. So if you input them through "Business Partner Request," you run the risk of setting up two separate vendor codes.
