The main purpose of the re-qualification process is to support information gathering and documentation updates to help ensure Essity’s supply requirements are met, for example, ISO certificates.​

For the re-qualification process, it is mandatory to first re-onboard the legacy (existing) supplier in the system.​

During re-onboarding, the supplier will create an SAP Ariba Network account needed to collaborate with Essity via Ariba and answer a limited response questionnaire.​​

Once the supplier is successfully registered with Essity, they are eligible to be invited for re-qualification.​

The Essity contact will send a system-generated invitation for re-qualification to be completed via the supplier’s SAP Ariba Network account.​​
