Link components to suppliers
Would you like to automatically include your suppliers' PCF into your BOM or recipe or simply want to request a PCF? Then you must link your components to your suppliers.
To do this, click on your desired component, and go to the Manage Suppliers button at the top right. Next up, click on Link existing supplier, this button will open a dialog window.. Select the supplier you want to link to this component here, save and you're done!
You have linked several suppliers to one component? Please enter the percentage of the delivery volume or share of each supplier in the Share column for the component. This is the only way to correctly determine the CO2 footprint of the component and thus also of your own products. A weighted average approach is taken to determine your Average Emissions for the component.
You can also link the same component to the same supplier but for different manufacturing locations. This is also helpful when wanting to request a site specific PCF.
