[Supplier Management](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/facility-teams?hsLang=en#supplier-management) # How to Enable Mandatory Supplier Accreditations  ## Enable mandatory supplier accreditations and certifications to ensure that work can only be assigned to compliant contractors This article is for FMI Works users who have been given the permission of Works Coordinator ### **How accreditations work**   In FMI Works, *Accreditations* include any credential, certification, or documentation that your organisation requires from external contractors that are completing work at your site/s.   ### **How to add mandatory accreditations to sites**  If your organisation requires suppliers to provide mandatory accreditations before they commence work, business rules can be enabled to prevent work orders from being assigned to non-compliant suppliers.  Mandatory accreditations can be set at the Company level (e.g., Public Liability Insurance) or Employee level (e.g., Police Check).  Mandatory accreditationsare set at a site level. They are not definable on the building, floor, or room level.   To set up a mandatory accreditation, go to *Services* \> *Locations* \> *Location Summary.* Locate and select to edit the relevant Site. On the *Site Details* screen, select the *Required Accreditations* tab.   Locate the *Accreditation Type* that you wish to make mandatory for that site then select the red x under *Is Required?* Once selected, this will change to a green tick. To deselect, simply click on the green tick and it will change to a red cross.   Select *Save.* ![](https://help.fmiworks.com/hubfs/image-png-Sep-18-2023-04-09-43-2878-AM.png) Tip: Before applying rules ensure all mandatory accreditations are current or the system will be continually blocking you from sending out work orders.   ### **Exemptions **  Some suppliers may need to be exempt from mandatory accreditation requirements that have been set at the site level.    For example, you may have applied a requirement that all suppliers must have current Public Liability Insurance certificates in the system. However, if you have a tenant in a building and you want to use work orders to inform the managing agent or landlord of facility management issues at your location/s, then you need to make them exempt from these accreditation rules because they are responsible for maintenance on site.    In this instance, go to the *Services* module and select *Suppliers* \> *Supplier List.* Locate and select to edit the supplier that is exempt from providing accreditation types that have been deemed as mandatory.  On the *Edit Supplier* screen, select the *Accreditations* tab. Select the tick box next to ‘This supplier is exempt from inductions’.   Select *Save.* ![](https://help.fmiworks.com/hubfs/image-png-Sep-18-2023-04-48-40-4999-AM.png) ### **More information**  See [Getting Started with Accreditations](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/getting-started-with-supplier-accreditations?hsLang=en) and [How to Manage Supplier Accreditations](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/how-to-manage-supplier-accreditations?hsLang=en). - [Resources](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/resources?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Getting Support](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/resources?hsLang=en#getting-support) - [Overviews](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/resources?hsLang=en#overviews) - [Set Up](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/resources?hsLang=en#set-up) - [Advanced Set Up](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/resources?hsLang=en#advanced-set-up) - [Product Updates](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/product-updates?hsLang=en#main-content) - [FMI Works Product Updates](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/product-updates?hsLang=en#fmi-works-product-updates) - [Pulse Product Updates](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/product-updates?hsLang=en#pulse-product-updates) - [Technical & Security](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/technical-security?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Application Programmer Interface (API)](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/technical-security?hsLang=en#application-programmer-interface-api) - [Cloud Specifications](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/technical-security?hsLang=en#cloud-specifications) - [Operational Requirements](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/technical-security?hsLang=en#operational-requirements) - [Security Policies](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/technical-security?hsLang=en#security-policies) - [Security Updates](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/technical-security?hsLang=en#security-updates) - [Facility Teams](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/facility-teams?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Assets](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/facility-teams?hsLang=en#assets) - [Dashboards & Reporting](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/facility-teams?hsLang=en#dashboards-reporting) - [Financial](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/facility-teams?hsLang=en#financial) - [Locations](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/facility-teams?hsLang=en#locations) - [Planned Maintenance](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/facility-teams?hsLang=en#planned-maintenance) - [Standard Requests](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/facility-teams?hsLang=en#standard-requests) - [Supplier Management](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/facility-teams?hsLang=en#supplier-management) - [User Management](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/facility-teams?hsLang=en#user-management) - [Work Orders](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/facility-teams?hsLang=en#work-orders) - [Attachments](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/facility-teams?hsLang=en#attachments) - [Requesters](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/requesters?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Accessing FMI](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/requesters?hsLang=en#accessing-fmi) - [Requests](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/requesters?hsLang=en#requests) - [Contractors](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/contractors?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Accessing FMI](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/contractors?hsLang=en#accessing-fmi) - [Accreditations & Inductions](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/contractors?hsLang=en#accreditations-inductions) - [Quotes](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/contractors?hsLang=en#quotes) - [Work Orders](https://help.fmiworks.com/knowledge/contractors?hsLang=en#work-orders) [![FMI](https://help.fmiworks.com/hs-fs/hubfs/FMI%20Logo%20Orange-1.png?width=99&height=33&name=FMI%20Logo%20Orange-1.png "FMI")](https://www.fmiworks.com/) Copyright © 2026, FMI Software Pty Ltd trading as FMI Works
