Yes, it is possible to load sub-tier part sourcing through CDIF.
The Multi-Tier Sourcing Tab in the CDIF of our Resilinc product is designed to facilitate the integration of multi-tier part sourcing data. This feature allows customers to map suppliers, sites, and parts across up to ten tiers within the customer portal.
Below is the UI representation of CDIF tab-10 Multi-Tier Sourcing

Requirements for using the Multi-Tier Sourcing Tab:
- Suppliers:
  - Tier 1 and Tier 2 Supplier Names are mandatory fields.
  - All supplier names must be normalized.
  - If Tier 2 and beyond suppliers are not included in the Suppliers tab, records will not be created.
  - Missing Tier N suppliers in the Multi-Tier Sourcing tab will result in the exclusion of that supplier and any downstream suppliers.
- Parts:
  - Parts listed in the Multi-Tier Sourcing tab should have corresponding Supplier Name, Customer Part #, and Supplier Part # in the Part Sourcing tab to build proper connections.
  - Parts without corresponding records in the Part Sourcing tabs will result in the creation of a new Part record without connections.
- Sites:
  - Any site added to the Multi-Tier Sourcing tab must have a corresponding record in the Site List tab.
  - All site names must be normalized.
  - Tier 1 site data is inferred from the Suppliers, Part Sourcing, Site List, and Part – Site Map tabs.
Best Practices for using the Multi-Tier Sourcing Tab:
- Normalize all supplier and site names.
- Ensure that supplier hierarchies are correctly represented in both the Suppliers and Multi-Tier Sourcing tabs.
- Validate that all parts have corresponding entries in the Part Sourcing tab to maintain proper connections.
- By adhering to these guidelines, customers can effectively leverage the Multi-Tier Sourcing Tab to accurately map their supply chain data across multiple tiers.

Note:

This feature is not available for all customers and must be requested. For appropriate customers, please reach out to respective CSM and they would be able to assign this feature for you.
Once multi-tier feature is added, you will be able to see it in the portal as shown in the below screenshot:
