Supplier-to-brand mappings control which of your connected suppliers are visible in Level 2 and Level 3 transparency reports for each brand partner. This article explains how to create and update these mappings from the Vendor Module.
01/ Introduction
When you generate a Level 2 or Level 3 transparency report for a brand, the report only includes suppliers you have explicitly mapped to that brand. Mappings are managed per brand connection — you can map different sets of suppliers to different Brands, and one supplier can be mapped to multiple Brands at the same time.
02/ Prerequisites
- You must have a vendor user role.
- You must have at least one active brand connection and at least one active supplier connection.
03/ Steps
- Go to Vendor Module in the main navigation.
- Click Connections in the left sidebar.
- Click on the row of the brand connection you want to configure. A side panel opens on the right, showing connection details.
- Locate the Mapped Suppliers section in the side panel. It shows how many suppliers are currently mapped to this brand.
- Click Map Suppliers. The mapping modal opens.
- The modal shows two columns: Available Suppliers (unmapped) on the left and Mapped Suppliers (currently mapped) on the right.
- To map a supplier, click the green + button next to their name in the Available Suppliers column. The supplier moves to the Mapped Suppliers column.
- To unmap a supplier, click the red - button next to their name in the Mapped Suppliers column.
- Use the search bar at the top of either column to find a supplier by name or organisation ID.
- To map all available suppliers at once, click Map All at the top of the Available Suppliers column.
- To unmap all suppliers at once, click Unmap All at the top of the Mapped Suppliers column.
Click Save Changes. The modal closes, and a confirmation message appears. The side panel updates to show the new mapped supplier count.
04/ Tips & Notes
Tip: A yellow warning bar appears at the bottom of the modal showing how many changes are pending. Changes are applied only when you click "Save Changes"; closing or cancelling the modal discards all unsaved changes.
Note: Level 1 reports do not use supplier mappings — they always include all connected suppliers. Mappings only affect Level 2 and Level 3 reports.
