Why does the validation report show Supplier Normalization errors for suppliers that are not present in my CDIF?

  • This is expected behavior. The validation report includes suppliers from all the tabs. If a supplier isn't listed in your Partners tab, However, if it provided in any of other tab (Part Sourcing, Site List, Part-Site Map, or Multi-Tier Sourcing tabs) it will be validated and appear in the validation report.
  • The system automatically collects all supplier references across your entire CDIF file and validates them together to ensure data consistency. This helps identify normalization issues across your complete supplier network, not just the suppliers you explicitly listed in the Partners tab.
  • To resolve the "Supplier Not Normalized" errors, you'll need to either:
    - Add these suppliers to your Partners tab with proper normalization
    - Remove references to these suppliers from the other tabs if they're no longer needed.
