As a Brand, supply chain data is now presented consistently across Maps, Declared Suppliers, and Supply Chain Reports.
When a supplier has multiple requests, configurations, or revisions, the platform uses the supplier’s latest submitted response for each configuration. If a response has not yet been submitted for a configuration, it is not included in these views.
This ensures that Maps, UI views, and Reports are based on the same submitted supply chain data.
What has improved:
- Maps: Supplier and facility count, including Direct, Direct (Declared), Indirect, Subcontractor, and Unknown, are calculated using the latest submitted response for each configuration.
- Declared Suppliers UI: Shows suppliers and facilities from the latest submitted response for each supplier and configuration, enabling you to review the data and perform deduplication where applicable.
- Reports: The Indirect Supplier Report, Facility Report, and Overall Supply Chain Network Report follow the same logic, ensuring consistency with Maps and UI.
- Multiple Configurations: When a supplier is associated with multiple configurations, such as Apparel and Footwear, the latest submitted response is tracked independently for each configuration.
Key Benefits for Brands
- Consistent data everywhere: Maps, UI, and Reports now use the same underlying data rules.
- Accurate visibility: Only submitted and relevant supply chain data is reflected in counts and views.
- Up-to-date supplier information: Older responses and unsubmitted configurations no longer result in outdated or inconsistent data being displayed.
- Configuration-level accuracy: A supplier's latest response is evaluated independently for each configuration.
- Reliable reporting: Reports align with the supplier and facility information shown across the platform.
Overall, this update provides a single, consistent view of supply chain data across Maps, UI, and Reports, making it easier for brands to trust that the information they see is aligned wherever they access it.
