Overview Supplier Compliance in the Value Chain (5OJ)

With the Overview Supplier Compliance in the Value Chain (5OJ) scope item, a check is performed in purchasing documents that consider the status of the supplier assessment of any compliance-relevant product. If the supplier of all items is compliant, the document can be processed. If the supplier is not approved for an item, the item and related business transaction, is blocked.
For a blocked item, a compliance request for the product steward specialist is created to check the assessment of the supplier. If the compliance result of the assessment is positive, the block is released.
