Overview


December 2016 release of Convergence is the last release of the year and is composed with user stories from sprint 7 and sprint 8.

One major change is the Search Tool : a powerful feature to search easily throughout supplier qualifications (account properties). Buyers can for example see all relevant qualifications for one site at a glance : site level, country level, zone level and worldwide level.

Main features


 

Qualification Search Tool

The Search Tool is a new way to search throughout your suppliers qualifications.

Take all qualified suppliers for the site Tavaux as an example. Before, four searches had to be performed on the Geographical axis: at Tavaux level, at France Level, at EMEA level and finally at worldwide level. With the Search Tool, it is done in one step.

In the same way, global searches can be performed on the Organisational axis or on the GPS axis. Let's say you look for qualified suppliers in Spectrometry: the Search Tool will also display suppliers qualified for all Laboratory Equipment and Supplies.

 

New business rule on the CSR questionnaire

A CSR will now be flagged as "Low grade" if the score is below 2.00 for Solvay questionnaires or 30% for third party questionnaires.
