Why do I see multiple sourcing values (Sole, Single, Multi) for the same supplier in the Resilinc platform, and how can I ensure only one sourcing value is used?

If a supplier appears with different sourcing values (e.g., both "Single-Sourced" and "Multi-Sourced") in the Resilinc platform, it is because those values were provided as-is in the uploaded CDIF file. The platform reflects the data exactly as submitted—no automatic filtering or prioritization is applied during ingestion.
To ensure that each supplier is associated with only one sourcing value, you must pre-process and clean the data in the CDIF file prior to uploading.
Recommended Action:
- Before uploading the CDIF file:
- Review all rows in the Part Sourcing tab for each supplier.
- If a supplier has multiple sourcing values, retain only the one with the highest priority, based on your organization’s sourcing policy.
For example:
- If a supplier has both "Single-Sourced" and "Multi-Sourced", retain only "Single-Sourced".
- If a supplier has both "Sole-Sourced" and "Single-Sourced", retain only "Sole-Sourced".
Recommended Priority Order: Sole-Sourced > Single-Sourced > Multi-Sourced
This data cleansing ensures sourcing consistency and prevents confusion or duplication once the data is ingested into the Resilinc platform.
