Suppliers List

[landradeG37XQ]

Since ISO 9001 requires us to maintain records of supplier performance, it would be really helpful to have a dedicated section in our system for evaluating suppliers from our supplier list. This could include key metrics like delivery times, quality of materials, and overall reliability. It’s something we need to do annually anyway, so having a simple, centralized way to track and document these evaluations would save time and keep us compliant. Plus, it could help us identify trends or areas for improvement with our suppliers over time.

Hi @landradeG37XQ 

Thank you for posting this idea.

My understanding is that part of this data can be obtained using purchase order, inventory movements and checklist reports. However, we could look into a more centralized way of providing all this data.

How are you currently tracking the quality of materials and how would you define "overall reliability"?

Right now, I add notes to the PO, but I am unable to see those from the PO reports, therefore I will have to go inside each PO to see where there is quality problems with the materials. Currently we keep those notes in a different piece of software we use in our company internally until we completely figured out how we can do that in fusion operations

Despite not totally related to the original idea, improving the purchase orders report is a valid way for improvement.

For that particular problem, I advise considering with your customer success manager the possibility of adding a parameter for "Notes", which is available on the purchase orders report.
