Work with Suppliers | Work with Customers
There are component declarations and product declarations. What's the difference?
In SAP Product Stewardship Network the terms product declaration and component declaration are used. These terms describe the same declarations, but from opposite sides of the supply chain. Declarations you create as a supplier are referred to as product declarations, while declarations you request as a customer from your suppliers are referred to as component declarations.
Why are there two work centers - one called WORK WITH SUPPLIERS and one called WORK WITH CUSTOMERS?
There are two work centers because most companies are in the middle of the supply chain. Hence, they have suppliers and customers. To administer your suppliers and the components they deliver to you, go to the WORK WITH SUPPLIERS work center. To administrate your customers and your own products, navigate to the WORK WITH CUSTOMERS work center.
How can I find out which products I need to provide a declaration for?
Normally your customer will send you a declaration request for products you deliver. Open the request to see which products you are asked to provide a declaration for. To do so, logon to SAP Product Stewardship Network. Then navigate to the Work with Customers tab and open the tile Product Requests to review the list of products you are asked to provide a declaration for. More detailed instructions can be found here.
Who can see my data?
SAP Product Stewardship Network is a business network and your company profile is visible within SAP Product Stewardship Network to other participants of the network. When you publish compliance declaration data on the network you can choose which companies on the network are allowed to see the data.
What does the status Review Needed mean?
Declarations are automatically set to status In Review when a new version of a regulatory list has been published. Please review your declarations and update them accordingly.
How can I update my product declarations with regard to an updated EU REACH SVHC or EU RoHS regulated substance list?
SAP Product Stewardship Network provides regulatated substance lists for EU REACH and EU RoHS. List updates are provided continuously upon official release by legal administration bodies.
The system will notify you to update your declarations in accordance with the new list revision. The revision status of your declarations is visible to others.
