Introduction

This article explains the various answer statuses you may encounter in the supplier platform and what they mean for your facility's assessment.

Types of Answer Statuses

1. Accepted

• Your answer meets all requirements and needs no further action.

2. Recommendations

• Your answer is acceptable but could be improved.
• Consider reviewing and updating these answers for a better assessment.

3. Answered

• You have provided an answer, but it has not yet been reviewed or accepted.
• No immediate action is required, but be prepared to provide additional information if requested.

4. Unanswered

• The question has not been addressed yet.
• Action is required: provide an answer as soon as possible to complete your assessment.

Best Practices

• Regularly check your answer statuses to ensure all questions are properly addressed.
• Prioritize updating answers with "Recommendations" status to improve your assessment.
• Ensure all questions are at least in "Answered" status before submitting your assessment.
• If you're unsure about a question or status, contact the platform's support team for clarification.

Impact on Assessment

• "Accepted" answers contribute positively to your assessment.
• "Recommendations" may slightly lower your score but are still considered satisfactory.
• "Answered" questions are pending review and may impact your assessment once evaluated.
• "Unanswered" questions negatively affect your assessment and should be addressed promptly.

Remember, maintaining up-to-date and accurate information is crucial for a successful supplier assessment.
