What is Smelter Master in Auto Gen CM CS?

You can upload the latest smelter master available on the RMI site into the Auto Gen CMCS application. If you have an alternative reference database, you can upload that instead of into the tool.

What is the Supplier list?

The supplier list is the list of suppliers that are to be validated for the customer. We can add the Supplier list manually or also we can add bulk supplier list by using the template given in the tool.

What is supplier mapping?

Auto Gen CMCS software provides you the ability to map a specific subset of suppliers from your supplier master, who would be relevant to the current reporting year.

What is View supplier CMRT?

Once the supplier’s CMRT is uploaded, the Auto Gen CMCS software automatically validates the CMRT for inaccuracies and verifies the input smelter data against the smelter master.

What is an exception report?

The errors that are present in the uploaded file is shown in the exception report. The user can either view the error/exception report generated by the software on-screen or download it as an excel file.

What is Feedback Report?

The user can send a feedback report to the supplier directly via the CMCS application. The feedback report is custom editable and the user can attach any files if any that needs to be sent to the supplier.

What is Smelter Consolidation?

The Auto Gen CMCS tool improves productivity by automatically consolidating all the smelter information received from your multiple suppliers. This process is also known as “roll-up”. If you have a large number of suppliers (& therefore smelters), manually consolidating them takes days for an accurate report. The CMCS can achieve this within minutes.
You can download the consolidated report from the application. This can be used for your submissions to your customers as appropriate.

What is a Dashboard?

The dashboard provides the various metrics that have been uploaded at the latest. It shows the number of suppliers that have responded yes or no and to which metals, and from which countries the smelters are present and at which level they have submitted the CMRT, etc.
