Supplier Management Tutorial: Onboard Suppliers, Track Certifications, and Rate Performance in Artintech ERP

Artintech ERP’s Supplier Management module keeps your supply base under control: a supplier register, a certification list with expiry alerts, and weighted performance ratings with scheduled assessments. This tutorial walks through all three.

1. Open the Supplier Management module #

From the left sidebar, open Supplier Management. Its sections: Supplier List, Supplier Cert List, and Settings.

2. Onboard a supplier #

1. Go to Supplier List and click New.
2. Fill in the required fields: Supplier Number and Supplier Name, Email, and the full Address (country, state/province, city, postal code).
3. Below the main form, add Contact People, Services (e.g. Material Supply), Certifications (with expiry dates and the certificate PDF), and Supplier Attributes.
4. Note: dialog-level saves only update the in-page draft — finish with the page-level Save so nothing is lost.

3. Track certifications #

Go to Supplier Cert List to see every certification across suppliers with Expire Date and Valid/Expired alert pills — so nothing lapses unnoticed. Use the filters (supplier, cert name, expiry date range, certification status) to find what’s due.

4. Rate supplier performance #

1. On the supplier detail page, open the Supplier Rating section and click New Assessment.
2. Score each of the weighted parameters (e.g. Delivery, Quality, Customer Service, Packaging, Certification, Responsiveness, Sustainability, Warranty Claims) from 0 to 5 — the average weighted score is computed for you.
3. Add a Justification, save, and the last/next assessment dates are auto-set from your assessment cycle (e.g. 365 days).

5. The full flow at a glance #

Onboard (register suppliers with contacts, services, and certifications) → Track (certification expiry alerts and status history) → Assess (weighted ratings on a schedule) → Improve (use “View Supplier Performance” to see the nonconformance picture per supplier).
