The Supplier Compliance report shows, for every supplier, its latest scores and which required documents are in place, missing, expired or awaiting approval. To open it, go to Supplier Management > Supplier Compliance.

Before you start

Any user with read access to Supplier Compliance can open this report. Uploading or requesting documents from it needs the Supplier Plus plan, and exporting needs the Export permission for Supplier Compliance.

Click Upload / Request or Expired - Renew Document

A window asks Would you like to request this document directly from your supplier to upload, or upload it yourself?

  • Request Document From Supplier sends a request to a supplier contact.

  • Upload Document lets you upload the file yourself.

Both forms work the same way as on the supplier record. See Add and Request Supplier Documents.

Common questions

Why doesn't a document show a tick when it's been uploaded?

A tick only appears when the document is approved, not archived and not expired. Uploaded documents that still need approval show Unapproved or Awaiting Upload.

How do I find suppliers with expired documents or high risk?

There's no filter for these. Sort the Expired Documents or Risk Score column, or add document columns and look for Expired - Renew Document.

Why doesn't my export match the table?

The export ignores filters and search, and only includes Active suppliers. It does use the columns you've chosen.

Can I export to Excel?

No. The export is a CSV file, which you can open in Excel.
