Create/edit suppliers

Suppliers can be created and their basic data recorded here. Other than the code and name, this also includes details on their address and general contact.

Special fields:

Expiration date	A date can be entered from here, after which the supplier is no longer able to respond to or view assessments. A month before the expiration date, any supplier users are informed of this. The date can be modified at any time. Expired suppliers are shown as such in overviews. If you set an expiration date that lies before the answer deadline of a sent assessment, you receive a warning. The expiration date can also be set automatically. For this, define a period under Administration > Global Settings > Security settings for supplier risk managmeent, then the expiration date will be preset by HITGuard accordingly. Note:Expired suppliers do not use up a license. Caution: The deactivated slide control is not automatically adjusted.
Deactivated	This switch is visible as soon as the supplier is created (after the first save). A deactivated supplier is no longer able to respond to or view assessments. Any of the supplier's users are informed of this. Deactivated suppliers are marked as such in overviews and reviews. <brNote: Deactivated suppliers do not use up a license.
External ID	This is the ID of the supplier in other systems. It is especially relevant when im- and exporting via the REST API.
Score	Here you can give the supplier a score per the CMMI degree of maturity model.
Protection needs	Here you can record the supplier's protection needs, which is especially important for the structural analysis.
Supplier categories	You can assign suppliers to different categories in order to better order and sort them.
External metric	You can record an evaluation metric from another system in this text field. This can also be done via the importer.
Justification	Here you can justify the scores and assessments you gave the supplier.
