Use Approval Snapshots to:
Verify that approved suppliers continue to meet your internal standards
Maintain an audit trail of approval decisions

What is an Approval Snapshot?
An Approval Snapshot is an automatic record of a supplier’s risk profile on a specific date. It helps you understand why a supplier was approved, conditionally approved, or rejected — based on the data available at that time.

No manual action is required.
