How to Set Up a Requirement Rule
Requirement rules allow you to define which documents you want to collect from specific groups of organisations and whether requests should be sent automatically.
Key Terms
Requirement rule
A requirement rule contains one or more requirement cards and is linked to one or more target groups.
Requirement card
A requirement card defines which document(s) are requested.
- Must-have – mandatory documents
- Nice-to-have – optional documents
A rule can contain multiple cards.
Step-by-Step: Creating a Requirement Rule
Step 1
Go to Requirement rules in the top navigation bar.
Step 2
Create and configure your rule:
- Enter a name for the rule
- (Optional) Add a description for internal use
(The description is not visible to suppliers.)
Step 3
Add requirement cards to define which documents you want to request:
- Name each card
- Select the document type(s)
Important:
- One card equals one requirement
- If you need multiple different documents, create multiple cards
You can also attach a template from Own documents if suppliers need to complete a specific form.
Step 4 – Define the Target Group
The target group determines which organisations the rule applies to.
You can define target groups based on:
- Tags
- Countries
- Organisation types
- Products
- Other filters
Step 5 – Activate the Rule
Activate the target group to start generating requirements.
Once active:
- Automatic document requests are sent
- Requirements appear on the All requirements page
Target Group Statuses
Each target group has a status:
Active (Green icon)
Automatic document requests are sent and requirements are visible.
Inactive (Yellow icon)
No automatic requests are sent. Used for internal insight or monitoring.
Not Configured (Red icon)
The target group has not yet been created.
If a rule contains multiple target groups, you can activate some while keeping others inactive.
