### **Definitions**

**'Enabled'** means your Organization, and you can place orders with the [Supplier](/docs/for-purchasers/introduction-to-suppliers). The Supplier can assign [Catalogs](/docs/for-purchasers/introduction-to-catalogs), [Products](/docs/for-purchasers/introduction-to-products) and prices to your Organization, and quotes will be available from the Supplier when creating a [Requisition](/docs/for-purchasers/introduction-to-requisitions). 

**'Not Enabled'** means users at your Organization will no longer be able to purchase products from the Supplier. You can re-enable the Supplier at any time in the future. Your Organization is still able to Export [Invoices](/docs/for-purchasers/introduction-to-invoices) from a Not Enabled Supplier.

See our help articles [View and Manage Suppliers](/docs/for-purchasers/view-and-manage-suppliers), and [Connect to a Registered Supplier](/docs/for-purchasers/connecting-with-a-registered-supplier) to learn more about Supplier Management.
