How Supplier Relationships Affect Employee And Contingent Workers In The Cloud

Question 1: Is there a way to Import Suppliers and link the new Suppliers records with existing employees?
There used to be a link in EBS R12 that allowed user to link employee records with Suppliers. Need to do the same using Supplier Import - create supplier records and link them to existing employees.
1: In Oracle Fusion Supplier Model, there is no way to link a supplier to an existent employee. The primary use case for needing to create employee suppliers in EBS was for expense reimbursement. The Expense app in Fusion improved their architecture which does not require an employee to be a supplier to get paid. The supported process for paying employees is through Expenses which does not require supplier records. This improvement keeps the supplier master clean of many of unnecessary supplier records in Fusion.
Question 2: Is it possible to link Contingent Works to Suppliers?
Contingent Workers will enter their time and expenses into OTL AND send invoices into AP for their time and expenses. They have to be paid out of AP and matched to their OTL time cards and expense reports. So, we have to link Contingent Workers and Suppliers. Please advise how and where this link should happen.
Q3: Is It Possible To Create A Supplier/Vendor From Employee Record?
In Oracle EBS users had the ability to create a vendor from an employee record. Is this available in Fusion?
There is no integration between employees and suppliers in Fusion.
The primary use case for needing to create employee suppliers in EBS was for expense reimbursement.
The Expense application in Fusion features an enhanced architecture which does not require an employee to be a supplier to get paid
This improvement keeps the supplier master clean of many of unnecessary supplier records in Fusion.
