Procedure documentationMonitoring Certificate Statuses

 

You can gain an overview of all supplier certificates and their statuses in the Certificate Status personal object worklist (POWL) under Supplier Portfolio.

Prerequisites

You have been assigned the Category Manager role.

Procedure

Sorting the Certificate Status POWL

You can sort the list by, for example, the approval status of certificates, or the status of certificates regarding their expiration.

Certificates provided by suppliers remain in status “pending approval” until they have been approved by the purchaser responsible.

The status of certificates regarding their expiration is displayed in a traffic light scheme in the colors red, yellow, green, and gray. The colors have the following meanings:

  • Red:

    A certificate that has been marked as mandatory for the related purchasing category has expired or is missing.

  • Yellow:

    The certificate is pending approval by the purchaser responsible on the buy side of SAP Supplier Lifecycle Management, or it expires in less than 30 days.

  • Green:

    The certificate expires in more than 30 days.

  • Gray:

    A certificate that has been marked as optional for the related purchasing category is missing.

Filtering the Certificate Status POWL

You can filter the list by the following criteria, for example:

  • Supplier ID

  • Certificate type (name or description)

  • Purchasing category

  • Mandatory certificates

  • Expiry date
