Q:Can I, as a user, make changes to/edit information on the system after I’ve completed the on- boarding? Can suppliers change or edit their details?
Yes, both users and suppliers can edit the details they provided, whether it is an ID number, email address or any other information.

The only supporting documents that currently need to be submitted are for B-BBEE and accreditations. These documents must be submitted to departments for manual verification.
