Supplier · Diversity

Classification and the evidence behind it. Self-declared and third-party certified are different evidence, and spend reporting that conflates them will not survive an audit.

Where to find it

Module: Supply Chain
Group: More
Section: Reachable by link
Screen: Supplier · Diversity

Address in the console: /scm/supplier-diversity

List · 9 columns · 12 fields on its form · 2 of them required

The rules that apply here

Everything on this screen obeys the platform rules rather than rules of its own. The ones worth knowing before you use it:

Narrowing a list — search, conditions, sort, totals, export and saved views.
What may be changed — the five grounds a record may not be edited on.
Companies and business units — what the switcher above this list is doing to it.
Creating a record — required fields, where choices come from, and how the number is allocated.
Importing a spreadsheet — this screen accepts one, and it runs through the same rules as typing.
