Supplier Portal

The Supplier Portal is accessed after logging in to the Supplier.ohio.gov using their OH|ID and password the customer created during the initial set-up of their OH|ID. Once a supplier registers to do business with the State of Ohio and is approved by the State, they can log in to the Ohio Supplier Portal. The Supplier Portal is a self-service module that provides suppliers access to view the real-time status of their purchase orders, invoices and payment information in a read-only portal. The Ohio Supplier Portal Sign-On Page is a one-stop-shop where suppliers will navigate to sign into OAKS FIN. Features and help desk information are also provided for user reference. The Ohio Supplier Portal Website provides helpful information and training materials for current and new suppliers.
