Join the Coupa Supplier Portal (CSP)

New suppliers to MIT are invited to join the Coupa Supplier Portal (CSP) after a member of the MIT community requests they be added. Once that occurs, you will receive an email from the Coupa Supplier Portal with the subject line MIT Buy-to-Pay Profile Information Request – Action Required. Select Join and Respond.

You will be asked to activate your Coupa account by confirming the information entered by the MIT DLC and selecting a secure password. If the email was routed to the wrong contact, you will have the ability to forward the invitation to the correct contact.  

Note: Coupa uses Amazon SES as an outbound email sending provider. Be sure your company accepts emails from the following IP address ranges:

• 199.255.192.0/22
• 199.127.232.0/22
• 54.240.0.0/18

The email invitation will come from do_not_reply@supplier.coupahost.com.

Once you are logged in, navigate to your notifications drop-down menu and select Update your profile for MIT Buy-to-Pay (B2P).

You will be asked to provide information about your business, including contact information, your Tax Identification Number and W-9 form, and if your business qualifies as a small or diverse business.

You will also be able to create Remit-to information to expedite how you are paid.  Fill out the bank account section to have your payments direct deposited.

Once you have an account, you can access the CSP at https://supplier.coupahost.com/.
