What is the Supplier Classification Tracker and what is it used for?
An Excel-based tool completed by the client's Supply Chain Site Lead before EcoIQ invitations are sent. It determines which questionnaire tier each supplier receives and serves as the data input for the platform upload.
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Who completes it | Supply Chain Site Lead at each client site. Not B1SA, not EcoIQ. |
| Worked examples | Rows 5–14. Show how a completed row looks and how the tier formula behaves. Do not edit. |
| Supplier data starts | Row 15. |
| Locked columns | I (Spend ≥ ZAR 500K — auto), T (Data quality flags — auto), U (Assessment Tier — auto). |
| Dropdown columns | J–S (Yes/No ESG and commercial criteria). |
| Notes column | V — free text for context, e.g. 'Spend is FY2025 estimate', 'Certified ISO 14001'. |
