With the Basic License you can perform a roll-up from reports generated by yourself, for example creating a company level report out of various product level reports. If you’d like to create a roll-up including data from your suppliers use the Premium, Premium Plus, or Enterprise License – depending on the amount of suppliers.
Your license is valid for 12 months from purchase / activation date.
Premium Plus offers part-level requests as well. However, batch requests (send many requests at once). One-to-one part requests can only be sent with an Enterprise License.
No, Premium accounts only allow the upload of more than 50 suppliers. For companies with more than 50 suppliers we recommend to use the Premium Plus license which allows the management of up to 100 suppliers.
