If your answers in your Supplier to Zero assessment disappeared after you changed your Supplier Profile, this is expected behaviour and not a fault. This article explains why it happens and how to avoid it.

Why a reset happens

  • Your Supplier Profile decides which performance criteria you are asked.

  • If you change your profile after you have started your self-assessment, what requirements apply to you can change too.

  • Keeping the old answers would mean keeping answers that describe a different facility. To keep your assessment correct, the answers are cleared and the self-assessment starts again.

You are always warned first

  • Before anything is cleared, a message explains what will happen and asks you to confirm.

  • If you confirm, your answers are cleared. If you cancel, nothing changes.

  • Read this message carefully. Once you confirm, it cannot be undone.

How to avoid an unwanted reset

  • Complete your Supplier Profile carefully before you start your Supplier to Zero self-assessment.

  • If you need a correction and you are already far into your self-assessment, download your answers first. You will still have to answer again, but you will have your answers to copy from.

  • Never confirm a warning message without reading it.

If your answers are already gone

  • Use the file you downloaded earlier, if you have one, to answer again quickly.

  • Answer again. Some requirements may be new, and some may have disappeared, because your profile has changed.

  • Check that your profile is fully correct before you start, so that it does not happen a second time.
