In EventWatch (EW) settings, does Supplier Impact Confirmation (SIC) remain active if no suppliers are selected in the “Select Suppliers For Impact Confirmation Request” list?

How SIC Configuration Works

• Under the Supplier Impact Confirmations settings, users can enable SIC by selecting one or more of the available criteria such as:
  • Tier 1 Suppliers with Supplier Provided Sites
  • Sub-tier Suppliers with Supplier Provided Sites
  • Suppliers with Customer Provided Sites (CDIF)
  • Suppliers with Autonomous Mapping Sites
• These checkbox selections determine the supplier population eligible for SIC requests.

What Happens If No Suppliers Are Selected?

• The “Select Suppliers for Impact Confirmation Request” field is optional.
• If:
  • SIC criteria checkboxes are enabled, and
  • No suppliers are selected from the supplier list,
• then the system will automatically send SIC requests to all suppliers matching the configured criteria.

Purpose of the Supplier Selection List

• The supplier selection list is used only to narrow or restrict the supplier population receiving SIC emails.
• Users can use this field when they want SIC notifications sent only to specific suppliers instead of all qualifying suppliers.

Important Note

• Leaving the supplier selection field blank does not disable SIC functionality.
• As long as the SIC criteria checkboxes are enabled and saved, SIC requests will continue to be generated for all matching suppliers.
