Hi All,
What is vendor collaboration portal in AX and what is the importance of this functionality in the real world?
Thanks in advance.

Hello lally,
Here is a detailed description and a very nice video available that explains things.
docs.microsoft.com/.../vendor-onboarding
Best regards,
Ludwig
It depends on what version. In principle its to improve communication by sharing of information and documents (i.e. collaboration.) This could for example be an rfp or rfq, or terms of trade from the customer, a vendor might upload completed responses, or submit invoices by upload. Prospective vendors might also want to apply to be vendors. Depending on the relationship a vendor might be allowed to update his own master data e.g tel number, or some transactional data e.g. delivery date, or to view on hand inventory or forecasts for items he supplies so as to react better, or to view statements and payments so as to reduce queries.
For a wider understanding see this Forrester whitepaper. https://www.projectplace.com/Global/pdf/whitepaper/EN/Forrester-Wave-Enterprise-Collaborative-Work-Management.pdf
The Vendor portal functionality of 'Ax7' has been replaced by extended vendor collaboration functionality in Dynamics 365 for Operations version 1611. For more information about the new vendor collaboration functionality, see Using vendor collaboration to work with external vendors.The Dynamics 365 FOE 7.3 release has improvements in this area.
( At Ax 2012 its part of EP, and thus rests on SharePoint collaboration features.Overview of Enterprise Portal for Microsoft Dynamics AX [AX 2012])

That is just a partial copy of the help in docs, the other link from Ludwig only covers the new on- boarding process in the new release. The overall topic is much wider.
