How to efficiently manage qualifications/assessments across suppliers that belong to the same group

Summary:

Looking for a more efficient and scalable solution in Oracle Fusion Supplier Qualification Management for managing risk assessments across suppliers that belong to the same corporate group.

Content (please ensure you mask any confidential information):

Our client regularly contract with multiple legal entities belonging to the same supplier group, for example separate Swiss, UK and US entities. Where the relevant risk information, questionnaire responses and risk rating are assessed centrally at parent-group level, we would like to reuse that assessment for the related child suppliers, while still maintaining the appropriate qualification record for each legal entity.

However, with each parent and child supplier is treated as a distinct supplier master record in Fusion, with its own profile, sites and qualification lifecycle: Vendor Management Team would need to create and maintain separate qualification records for every child supplier and manually associate each child record with the evidence from the parent assessment. For supplier groups with several legal entities, this would create significant recurring manual effort and could also make it more difficult to maintain consistency, traceability and timely updates when the parent assessment is renewed or its risk rating changes.
