Creating a Supply Chain Operator (SCO)

Before You Start

A Supply Chain Operator (SCO) is the name used in Global Trace-Base (GBT) for operators in the GOTS chain of custody, such as:

• Certified Entities (CEs)
• Subcontractors (of CEs)
• Buyers of Certified Products

How to Create New SCOs

1. Go to Organisations > Supply chain operators.
2. On the Supply chain operators page, click on Add list item (+) to begin the process.
3. A new page for creating new SCOs will then open:

• • In the Basic data tab, fill out all relevant business account and business communication information, and save changes.
  • In the Address data tab, fill out all relevant business location information and save changes.
  • In the Other data tab, you may find optional fields related to additional brands, membership to GOTS founding organisations and CB system-generated SCO IDs.

You are now ready to start creating and managing new facilities, Scope Certificates and Transaction Certificates.

Note
Remember to always save changes by clicking on the floppy disk ( ) on the right-hand-side menu.
