      Populate the invitation template

      Overview 

      The Supply Chain Builder collates sub-tier supplier data on the platform by engaging directly with the suppliers and inviting them to participate in your supply chain mapping initiative.

      To populate the invitation template and subsequently invite your suppliers to complete the Supply Chain Builder, you need to upload a CSV template with your suppliers’ details when completing your own Supply Chain Builder.

       

      Before getting started 

      To invite your suppliers and start building your supply chain you will need:

      1. A SUPPLIERASSURANCE account.

      2. A SUPPLIERASSURANCE Supply Chain Risk Mapping (SCRiM) licence.

      3. A started Supply Chain Builder.

       

      If you wish to become a SUPPLIERASSURANCE Customer and obtain the SCRiM licence, please book a call with our team

      How to

      1. Complete the first section of the Supply Chain Builder questionnaire for the product you want to map.

      2. Select the type of product you manufacture.

      3. Download the CSV template under the ‘Supplier components’ section and open it on your desktop.

      4. In Column A enter the contact email address for the suppliers you are inviting to provide the information needed to build your product supply chain.

      5. In Column B enter the component part name that you would like the suppliers to complete the Supply Chain Builder for. Make sure you list the component name exactly as you would on an order form to your next tier supplier to ensure accurate data for any future product traceability request

       

      6. Save the file on your computer as a CSV.

      7. Upload the CSV file to the Supply Chain Builder by selecting ‘Choose file’. When uploaded, you will see a confirmation of how many suppliers will receive an invitation to complete the Supply Chain Builder for your product supply chain.

      8. Once the CSV file has been uploaded and the number of supplier components shown matches the number of suppliers that have been invited, complete the remaining sections of the Supply Chain Builder. 

       

      Troubleshooting/Additional resources 

      Problem: I keep getting errors when uploading the invitation CSV template with my suppliers’ details.

      Solution: When populating the CSV template make sure that you have entered email addresses in Column A only. Next, check that you have saved and uploaded the file as a CSV.
