Worldwide enterprise

Add a country enterprise



Overview

A country enterprise has one or more locations within a country and one location is the headquarters location. "Add a Country enterprise" within the PartnerWorld Profiling System is where you can add a new country enterprise record to your existing Worldwide enterprise profile.

Note that a new country enterprise should only be created when adding a new record for an existing company in a different country. "Create Location" should be used if adding a new record for an existing company within the same country.



Navigation

To add a new country enterprise:
  • Select the link "Add a country enterprise".
  • Select your company’s country of residence
  • Click on "I Agree"
  • Enter the required information as prompted on the new screen including, the company’s name and information on publishing the information in Business Partner directories
  • Select the "Next" button on each page after filling in required information
  • Once on the final page, click "Save" to complete the creation of a new country enterprise
  • You will be taken to a confirmation page and given a confirmation number
  • Please retain the confirmation number for all future inquiries on the transaction

Self-association

After the PartnerWorld application is approved and the Country Enterprise profile is created, the Authorized Profile Administrator (APA) can manually set the automatic accept self-associations default in the Partner Profile. To set this default:

  1. Select the Country Enterprise.
  2. Go to the General screen.
  3. Click the list arrow in the Automatic accept contacts who self-associate with this company field.
  4. Select Yes from the list.

The APA will receive notification under Actions requiring attention on the PartnerWorld profile page, once the self-association is completed by the employee at the location. The default is no associations until the APA changes it to automatic accept self-associations.

Existing Business Partners already with a profile in PPS will automatically be able to view their details upon entering PPS.
