The Certificates Compliance Report gives you a clear view of certification coverage across your supplier network. Built with Compliance Managers in mind, it helps you quickly identify valid certifications—and stay ahead of upcoming expirations.
What's included:
Only approved, unexpired certificates.
The most recent version of each certificate.
What's excluded:
Expired or archived certificates.
Transaction certificates. As TCs are usually uploaded as proof documents to the order. They are not displayed in this Certificates Analytics page. However, they are included in the Tracing Compliance report.
Product certificates. Certifications for a single product are excluded here.
Your own certificates.
Your clients certificates (marked with the relationship type Client in your Network)
💡 Tip: If a certificate is expired and not intended for renewal, archiving it ensures it's removed from all statistics.
This guide will help you interpret the key statistics in the report and utilize its features effectively.

Key Metrics
Right at the top, two KPIs highlight the status of certifications in your network:
Total certificates uploaded:
Shows the number of approved, unexpired certificates from your network partners.
% of suppliers with a certificate
Tracks how many suppliers have at least one valid certificate
If a supplier has multiple certificates, only one is taken into account.
Certificates Expiration date - by month
A bar chart helps you monitor upcoming certificates expirations—before they become an issue:
Displays the current month plus the next four. Certificates in the current month are those expiring in that month, regardless of whether the date is in the past. For example, even if today is March 11, certificates expiring on March 10 and March 25 are both displayed for the month of March.
Includes an Expired bucket for certificates that haven’t been renewed by your network
Only approved certificates are shown
Keep in mind that retraced automatically notifies your network partners about their upcoming expiring certificates
Certificates uploaded - by Review Status
The Certificates uploaded - by Review Status provides visual breakdown of review outcomes—so you can see where things stand:
Categories: On top of certificates currently in review, all 3 status-categories are displayed on this pie chart: Approved, Rejected, Non-verifiable.
Expired and archived certificates are excluded.
The pie chart shows both percentage and count.

Certificate expiration status - by production steps
With the Certificate expiration status - by production steps, understand how certification coverage maps across supply chain tiers:
Covers Depth - 1 through Depth - 4. The depths are based on the Retraced categorization of the facility processes.
Each bar shows:
Valid: currently approved
Soon to expire: due to expire this month or in the next four months
Expired: no longer valid and not yet renewed
Suppliers with multiple facility processes will appear at more than one depth.
Certificates Historic Data
This section displays historical trends based on the selected timeframe. The results are influenced by both the global filters applied across the dashboard and the specific timeframe chosen here. Adjust these settings to refine the data displayed.

A certificate is included if it was valid at any point during the selected time.
