I am in the process of setting up Odoo on our server. The only issue I'm having is when I send a request for quote to my vendors there is no hyperlink in the email to direct the vendor to the Odoo site to register an account then bid on the request for quote. I'm testing this process by using the email address of my coworker as being the vendor. He receives the email with the request for quote as a PDF, but no hyperlink that takes them to Odoo to bid. Any advice is much appreciated. 

Thank you in advance.

I'm not trying to insert my own hyperlink. This is the hyperlink that Odoo creates when you generate a request for quote. My understanding is that in the request for quote process, the system automatically inserts a link back to the request for quote so that the supplier can bid. Any ideas?

Hi,

the issue is much broader. The point is that there is no vendor portal in Odoo at all: no interface, no access rights. Thus, even if you introduced a hyperlink, it would be confusing since a supplier can't open any object through this reference.

Thus, the only solution is to develop a new app "Supplier Portal" using as an example standard Odoo customer "Portal". There are some apps which do this (e.g.: https://www.odoo.com/apps/modules/8.0/website_portal_purchase/), but no idea how good they are

Odoo does not create a hyperlink for Vendors.  This is the email template:


Odoo would need to be extended to have a hyperlink, which involves a Vendor portal as already suggested.
