How to Complete a Sub-supplier Intake Request
Sometimes your customer may ask you to provide an overview of your sub-suppliers. This is done through a Sub-supplier Intake request.
This guide explains how to complete that request.
Step 1: Open the request
When you open the request from your email, you will see:
- Who is requesting the information
- Your organisation name
- The due date
- An optional message from your customer
You can also send a message back if you need clarification.
Step 2: Add your sub-suppliers
Scroll down to the intake table. This is where you provide information about your sub-suppliers.
You have three ways to fill it in:
Option 1: Add from your Agriplace account
If you have an Agriplace account:
- Click Add from your account
- Select your sub-suppliers
- Their information will automatically populate the table
This is the fastest and most accurate method.
Option 2: Fill in manually
If you do not use Agriplace, you can manually complete the table fields.
Provide as much information as possible, such as:
- Organisation name
- Country
- Region
- Identifiers (GGN, GLN, CoC, etc.)
If you enter a valid identifier like a GGN, the system may automatically retrieve organisation details from connected databases.
Option 3: Upload via Excel
If you have many sub-suppliers:
- Click Excel template
- Download the template
- Fill in the required columns
- Upload the completed file
The data will be added to the table automatically.
Step 3: Review your entries
Check that:
- All required fields are completed
- Identifiers are correct
- Product-specific information is included if requested
If your customer requested sub-suppliers for a specific product, make sure only the relevant suppliers are included.
Step 4: Attach additional documents (optional)
You can scroll down to upload supporting documents if needed. This is optional unless specifically requested.
Step 5: Submit the request
Once everything is completed:
- Click “I’m done and ready to submit”
- Add an optional message
- Click Submit request
After submission, the request is sent back to your customer for review.
Important to remember
- You can partially complete the intake and return later before submitting.
- After submission, you cannot edit the intake unless your customer sends it back for an update.
- Providing accurate identifiers improves data accuracy and reduces follow-up questions.
Completing the Sub-supplier Intake correctly ensures smooth collaboration and keeps supply chain information up to date.
