Adding your company multiple times in the same purchase order

If your company takes over several steps within the same supply chain, you need a second company profile in Retraced. You can then place orders between your two profiles, just like with an external supplier.

How to add my own company within a traced supply chain again?

  1. Set up a second company profile.
    In Network, create a new profile for your company and connect it as a Supplier. See Building your network: add, remove or export suppliers, section “If your supplier isn’t in Retraced yet”. [Insert Link]

  2. Open the order.
    Place an order by following Purchase Order: Place an order to your supplier [insert link], or go to Traceability → Orders and open an existing order with the View icon.

  3. Place an order to your new company profile.
    On the ‘Tracing’ tab, click the + icon on your company box and choose Add order.

  4. Select your new profile as the supplier.
    In the ‘Supplier & Buyer’ step, select your new company profile as the supplier, together with its facility process.

  5. Complete the order.
    Fill in the ‘Order Details’ and ‘Documents’ steps as described in the guide from step 2.

    ⚠️ We don’t recommend using Add internal order for this. Once an internal order is created, its details can’t be changed, which can easily lead to errors.
