Whether a lot is held on receipt, and what happens to a supplier's approval, follows your procedures; nothing here is automatic. Which records, fields, sign-offs and rules apply follows your procedures, workspace configuration and user permissions.

Supplier approval, connected to the records that use it.
Supplier Qualification
Supplier qualification is kept connected to purchasing and receiving records, so the approval sits beside the orders and receipts it governs.
Incoming Results with the Lot
Results recorded against the received lot sit next to the supplier's certificate, for a person to compare.
Deviations and Corrective Actions
An incoming problem is recorded as a deviation, with corrective actions, linked to the records it concerns.
Evidence and History
Audit history shows who changed what and when; approvals are signed by people under your procedure.
What you can show.
- Why a supplier is approved, and for what
- Which receipts and lots came from that supplier
- Deviations and corrective actions involving the supplier
- Who decided, and when
Which rules apply depends on your products and markets.
Your procedures decide
Supplier evaluation, re-evaluation frequency and what triggers it are set by your quality system and the rules that apply to you. V5 keeps the records; it does not establish compliance.
Supplier quality management software, answered.
What does V5 do for supplier quality?
It keeps supplier qualification connected to purchasing and receiving records, with deviations, corrective actions, audit history and signatures alongside. People decide approval, restriction or suspension.
What else is included for suppliers?
Only what is described on this page is claimed here. Ask us about anything else your supplier programme needs, such as reminders or supplier-facing access.
Can V5 stop a purchase order to an unapproved supplier?
Whether an unapproved supplier can be ordered from depends on your set-up and your ERP; confirm it with us. V5 works alongside your ERP; it is not an ERP.
Does V5 make our supplier programme compliant?
No software does that on its own. Your procedures and people do; V5 keeps the records.
Capabilities vary by plan and setup. Confirm specifics with our team before relying on them.
