Track vendor certifications and automatically control purchasing status based on certification expiration dates. This solution updates the QC Vendors Approved Until date to reflect the vendor’s current certification expiration date. When a certification reaches its expiration date or becomes past due, the vendor status is automatically changed to Suspended. While the vendor is suspended, users cannot create new Purchase Orders for that vendor. Existing Purchase Orders can still be received, allowing materials already in process to be completed while preventing new purchasing activity until the certification is renewed. Key Capabilities Tracks all vendor certifications Updates the Approved Until field using the current certification expiration date Automatically suspends vendors with expired certifications Prevents creation of new Purchase Orders for suspended vendors Allows receiving against existing Purchase Orders Restores purchasing eligibility after certification information is updated Improves supplier quality and compliance controls Reduces the risk of purchasing from vendors with expired certifications Business Benefits This solution helps quality, purchasing, receiving, and compliance teams maintain better control over approved suppliers. Automated vendor suspension reduces manual monitoring and helps ensure that new Purchase Orders are only created for vendors with valid certifications.
