How to Add an AMC/Firms to your Fee Panel
Adding an AMC/Firm is almost exactly like adding an individual appraiser. However, during the process, you'll send them an invitation which they'll need to accept before you can assign any orders to them. There's another consideration when removing an AMC/Firm from your fee panel: If you remove an AMC/Firm, you'll need to re-invite them if you intend to assign future orders to them. If you think it's a possibility you'll use an AMC/Firm again, consider adding them to your Ineligible vendors list.
Outcome
After completing these steps, you will be able to add vendors to your fee panel, remove vendors when necessary, and understand how AMC or firm invitations work. This helps you build and maintain an accurate list of preferred vendors for order assignment.
