Create relationships from the supplier detail view

Go to Suppliers and select a supplier to see its details. Open the “Manage” menu in the top right-hand corner to access the supply chain and assign new companies as providers. In Edit supply chain relationship, first-tier suppliers can be assigned the company as the buyer of the supplier's goods. 

Edit supply chain relationship under Manage

Newly created suppliers are not visible in this list until they are mapped. Add and map suppliers from the Suppliers page. As mapping continues and suppliers are created, newly created suppliers can be marked as providers for companies that have been mapped in the supply chain already.

Assigning relationships populates the Tier column in the supplier list.

Click “More Filters” to find the Tier filter and filter by tier(s).

Tier filter under More Filters

If a supplier is linked by more than one tier, the Tier column displays only the closest tier.
For example, if a company is assigned both Tiers 1 and 3, Tier 1 will be shown on the Suppliers page. There are greater risks associated with tier 1 relationships than tier 3.
