View or create an interaction for a supplier

Typically, an interaction record is automatically created when you accept a chat through the chat queue in the Source-to-Pay Workspace. However, you can also manually create an interaction from the list page of the Source-to-Pay Workspace. You can link an interaction record to an existing supplier case or can assign a task, which needs a supplier manager's involvement for investigation.
