Exploring the Qualifications Area in Supplier Profiles

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to explain the features of the Qualifications area in supplier profiles.

The Qualifications Area

The Qualifications detail area of a supplier's profile allows you to view and manage their qualifications. It displays qualifications based on process projects or legacy supplier qualification and disqualification projects.

Note

This area is only available in sites that include SAP Ariba Supplier Lifecycle and Performance.

By default, the Qualifications area becomes available after a supplier completes registration. If your organization uses process projects to manage supplier qualifications, you can access qualification processes for unregistered suppliers in the Processes area. Additionally, if an administrator activates a specific self-service configuration parameter in your site, the Qualifications area will appear in the profiles of unregistered suppliers.

How you access the Qualifications detail area depends on whether your site uses the classic supplier 360° profile or the supplier profile summary for managing suppliers. In the classic supplier 360° profile, you choose the Qualifications link in the navigation bar to view the detail area. In the supplier profile summary, you navigate to the detail area by selecting the Qualifications panel.

Note

If your site uses the supplier profile summary (NGSM-2959), the Qualifications panel shows the number of qualifications in different statuses, if available. The Qualifications detail area offers in-depth information about the supplier’s qualifications.
