# Supplier Onboarding via Registration Questionnaire - RFP Process

## Symptom

Sometimes the buyer can start the registration process straight with an event invitation (RFP, RFI, Auction). When this happens, you will also receive an invitation on your email to register and participate of the event.

Once you finish your registration with the buyer you will already be able to see the event in your Proposals and Questionnaires page.
