STAEDEAN Life Sciences allow for the definition of the qualification status of a vendor/manufacturer. In the Qualification statuses form (Life Sciences Quality Control & Assurance > Setup > Quality control > Qualification statuses), users can define the list of status values for vendors and manufacturers.
In the vendor master (Accounts payable > Vendors > All vendors), the Qualification details FastTab is available with the following information:
Qualification status:
When a new vendor/manufacturer is created, the default qualification status is assigned according to the Default status defined in the Vendor type. For example, the default qualification status is Under qualification for the GMP Manufacturer vendor type.
Users can manually update the qualification status of the vendor/manufacturer by using the Qualification button in the Vendor tab.
Reason code: when the qualification status is updated, it is possible to choose a reason code among the ones defined in the Qualification reason codes form (Life Sciences Quality Control & Assurance > Setup > Quality control > Qualification reason codes).
From date/To date: when the qualification status is updated, users can enter the start date and end date of the period in which the qualification status applies (for example, the vendor is qualified, and the qualification lasts two years).
If the All vendors table is shared among legal entities (that is, VendTable is enabled in cross company data sharing), the Apply status to all legal entities parameter is enabled when updating the qualification status. The modification is applied to the vendor in all legal entities.
