2.  From the office menu, select **Work Phases**.

**NOTE**: if the supplier is not already associated with the current office, they will be associated automatically. See [Associate Suppliers to Offices](/guides/supplier-management/associate-supplier-to-office/#association-permissions) for further details on permissions.

7.  Click **Save**
    

**Note:** Before associating a work phase with a supplier, their profile must be created. For more information on how to create a new supplier profile, see [Supplier Management](/guides/supplier-management/supplier-management).
