What does this change in practice?

Without qualification, the checking happens later — in the blocked payment, the rejected invoice, the contract without cover. The cost does not disappear; it moves, and it gets more expensive, because by then a commercial commitment already exists.

Is qualification the same as registration?

No. Registration records the data; qualification verifies whether that data allows contracting. A supplier can be registered and not qualified.

Does the supplier take part?

Yes: they submit documents and confirm data. What does not change is who approves — the decision remains with the contracting company.

Glossário

Supplier qualification

Supplier qualification is the process that verifies whether a company can be contracted before the first order exists: registration and tax data checked at the source, valid documents, regular standing, and approval by whoever owns the risk. The supplier enters the system already able to receive an order.
