Define types of certification classifications from U.S. government sources. |
In the U.S., various government sources provide suppliers with classification certifications. For example, a supplier might be classified as Small Business - Hispanic Woman Owned.
Organizations must report information about the classification of suppliers with whom they do business. Sometimes, they are also required to report similar information to their customers.
For example, ABC Organization reports supplier classification information to the Departments of Labor and Commerce and also reports similar information to the Edsel Motor Company, one of ABC's major customers. It is necessary for ABC Organization to generate appropriate reporting to remain compliant with government customers. In addition, the automotive industry expects ABC Organization to have a reporting system that identifies various spending activities by different ethnic group categories.
To enter government certifications, you define the sources of government certifications and then define the government certification classifications. Once you define the sources and classifications, apply this information to the suppliers in the Supplier Information component.
