Release date: 04/11/2025

1. Assessments

• Resolved a display issue where assessment grade colours were not appearing correctly on UI icons.

2. Certification management

• Enhanced security controls for certificate expiry editing, now restricted to the certificate creator or company administrators.
• Updated certificate de‑duplication logic to include scope parameters, preventing multiple certificates with identical IDs but different scopes from being merged (MSC‑specific).

3. Company and site profiles

• Expanded data capture capabilities with additional fields when creating new supplier contacts.
• Improved navigation so product mapping submissions now redirect to the homepage for easier workflow management.
• Supplier codes now display in alphabetical order on company and site profile pages for better readability.
• Fixed ESG scorecard ranking sort functionality.

4. Documents

• Standardised all date formats to UK display format for consistency across the platform.

5. Product data and specifications

• Added capability to set specific commodity requirements at the product line level for greater flexibility.
• Enhanced commodity management interface to create more intuitive user journeys.
• Added I don't want to map button functionality when responding to supply chain mapping tasks.
• Improved specification section behaviour so selecting Include sub‑section now automatically checks all relevant include boxes.
• Updated specification terminology from “Does not contain” to “Contains” (yes/no) to eliminate confusing double‑negative phrasing.
• Removed unnecessary parent ID links from validation screens for product safety.
• Resolved specification request attribute management error.

6. Reports and directory

• Expanded My Product Report to display mapping counts for direct suppliers.
• Fixed an issue where mapping declarations were not appearing in reports.

7. Supply chain mapping

• Enhanced commodity data page filtering to display only commodities set at the parent product level.
• Optimised task creation logic to prevent duplicate mapping tasks for products already marked as “not mapping.”

8. Technical infrastructure

• Implemented API rate limiting for supply chain operations to ensure optimal system performance and reliability.
• Other API areas will be worked on in the ongoing months.
