Vendor Invitation

Whenever a Vendor is going to be on-site it is best to notify building of the visit in advance. This is done through a Vendor Invitation. Scheduling the visit can make sure that necessary personnel is available to assist and that the employees of the Vendor are able to get into the building quickly and perform their duties.
