Document Expiration & Supplier Reassessment
After a supplier has been approved by the company, a reassessment process occurs 60 days prior to the specified expiration date of an associated document:
- For contracts: A full supplier reassessment is automatically triggered, assigning the Review Supplier task to the designated resource.
- This reassessment ensures that the supplier’s performance and compliance are up to standard before the contract’s expiration.
- For non-contract documents: An email reminder is sent to the supplier, prompting them to review and update any necessary documentation to uphold compliance with company requirements.
