• Key Concepts: 
  Template-based qualification is a feature of the SLC-QUA Supplier Qualification component of SAP. It allows users to create and manage templates for supplier qualification processes. Templates can be used to define the criteria for evaluating suppliers, such as financial stability, quality assurance, and environmental compliance. The templates can also be used to define the process for evaluating suppliers, such as the steps required to complete the evaluation and the timeline for completion. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use template-based qualification, users must first create a template. This can be done by selecting the criteria and process that should be included in the template. Once the template is created, it can be assigned to a supplier or group of suppliers. The supplier or group of suppliers will then be evaluated according to the criteria and process defined in the template. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a template, it is important to ensure that all relevant criteria and processes are included. This will ensure that all suppliers are evaluated in a consistent manner. Additionally, it is important to review and update templates regularly to ensure that they remain up-to-date with current industry standards and regulations.
