# Supplier Onboarding via Registration Questionnaire - Email Invitation From Buyer

## Symptom

The onboarding process begins when a buyer sends you an email invitation. This invitation typically requires you to take action through the email. Once received, you can either create a new SAP Ariba account or link an existing account.
