How to Create a Purchase Order Traceability Assessment

Creating the assessment

1. Click Trace in the left sidebar, then click Assessments.
2. Click Create Assessments.
3. Select the assessment type from the dropdown.
4. Select the supplier from the list.
5. Select the relevant purchase orders to include in the assessment.
6. Select the assessment template from the dropdown.
7. Select the recipient email address — pre-populated from the supplier profile.
8. Click Continue, review the details, then click Submit.
9. The assessment appears in the list with status New and is also visible in the supplier's profile under the Assessments tab.

Reviewing the response

1. Once the supplier responds, open the assessment to review their answers.
2. Accept answers individually or in bulk, or reject answers by clicking the X checkbox and providing a rejection reason.
3. Once all answers are approved, the assessment status updates to Accepted and the data is pulled into Brand Cloud.

Purchase order assessments are linked to specific orders, making it easy to trace compliance back to individual production runs.
