What is the difference between the “Stock Report – Company Resilinc Mapping” and the “Partner Name Normalization Report,” and why do they show different supplier counts?

The difference between these two reports is primarily due to the scope of supplier data included in each.
The Stock Report – Company Resilinc Mapping provides a focused view of supplier data. It includes:
- Suppliers that are fully normalized and mapped in the system
- Their associated name variations (aliases)
This report is intended for reviewing a clean and verified list of mapped suppliers, typically at the Tier 1 level.
In contrast, the Partner Name Normalization Report provides a more comprehensive view. It includes:
- All normalized suppliers
- Suppliers across multiple tiers, including Tier 1 and sub-tier suppliers
- A broader supplier base beyond just mapped suppliers
Because of this expanded coverage, the Partner Name Normalization Report will always show a higher number of records compared to the Stock Report.
In summary:
- The Stock Report is narrower in scope and focuses on mapped suppliers with aliases.
- The Partner Name Normalization Report is broader and includes suppliers across tiers.
- The difference in supplier count is expected and does not indicate a data issue.
You should use:
- The Stock Report when you need a validated, mapped supplier list.

The Partner Name Normalization Report when you need full visibility across your supply chain, including sub-tier suppliers.
