How Data Enrichment Is Managed in SupplierGATEWAY

Data Enrichment is managed through the Data Enrichment module. Internal users use this module to upload supplier data files, validate data structure, and initiate processing so the information can be used across the platform.

Data quality directly impacts reporting accuracy, so enrichment activities follow a structured upload and review process.
