  Key Concepts: 
  Pending Clarification is a status in the SLC-QUA Supplier Qualification component of SAP. It is used to indicate that a supplier has not yet provided all the necessary information for the qualification process to be completed. This status is used to ensure that all the required information is collected before the qualification process can be finalized. 
  
  How to use it: 
  When a supplier is being qualified, they will be given a status of “Pending Clarification” if they have not provided all the necessary information. The user can then contact the supplier and request the missing information. Once the supplier has provided all the required information, the status can be changed to “Qualified” or “Not Qualified” depending on the results of the qualification process. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that all suppliers are given a status of “Pending Clarification” if they have not provided all the necessary information. This will help to ensure that all suppliers are properly qualified before they are allowed to do business with your company.
