This article provides a clear overview of the latest updates released for the Supply Chain platform.

1. Product specifications

• Packaging pack type options in both the details and components sections are now dependent on the selected packaging level.
• This aligns with the behaviour introduced previously for the packaging component material category field.

2. Assessment

• New functionality allows users to set dates for the next instance of a renewed continuous assessment when the current assessment is completed.
• If next dates are set, they will be used when the assessment renews.
• If next dates are not set, renewal dates (due, expiry, re‑issue) will continue to be automatically calculated based on the lifespan of the previous version.

3. Supplier product notes

• Private documents can now be stored against any supplier products mapped or declared in your supply chains.
• Users can add, preview, edit, and delete notes.
• The interface for managing private documents has been updated for both a user’s own products and supplier products.
• The supplier product overview now shows a single tab with a “more” link to access additional tabs.
• Restrictions have been added to prevent uploading unapproved file types and to limit uploads to 100 files at a time.

4. Supplier management

• Site codes and contact details can now be updated directly from the supplier overview.
• A count of ESG assessment request emails sent to customers is now displayed.
• Users can click through to view the send dates for these emails.
