Supplier Products

A supplier product is the specific item a supplier sells you. It’s the link between your internal raw material and what the supplier actually provides — with their product code, their name for it, and their packaging.

​
What’s Stored Against a Supplier Product

​
Documents on a Supplier Product

Documents are stored directly against the supplier product:
  • Specification — the supplier’s product specification
  • SDS — Safety Data Sheet
  • COA — Certificate of Analysis (also stored against individual deliveries)
  • Certificates — Kosher, Halal, organic, or other certifications
  • Other — any additional documents
Documents can be uploaded manually, by the supplier (if they’re on ChemCloud), or automatically via the AI Document Manager.
A supplier product is linked to your data through approved materials:
This means:
  • When you create an RFQ for a product, ChemCloud knows which suppliers carry it
  • When a quote comes in, it’s linked to the specific supplier product
  • When you order, the supplier product details flow through to the purchase order
  • Documents are tracked against the supplier product for compliance

​
Adding a Supplier Product

You can add a supplier product:
  • From the supplier profile — add products to an existing supplier
  • From an approved material — when setting up a new approval, add the supplier’s product details
  • From a sourcing request — when a supplier responds with a new product, add it directly from the request
See How to add a supplier’s product for a step-by-step guide.
