A 'Standard' is a defined measure of due diligence against which a supplier is assessed.
You can use Standards to forcibly change the set of questions that will be asked of the supplier. For example:
- You may need to onboard a supplier quickly, and therefore decide to forego some of the usual vetting process;
- You may be onboarding a supplier that does not fit the mould of the rest of your supply chain, and therefore needs a different set of questions.
By default, Canopy comes pre-loaded with 2 standards:
You may set up as many Standards as you like.
A supplier may only be assessed against one Standard at any one time.
