Supplier Qualification

Move suppliers through qualification (Pending → Under Evaluation → Approved → On Hold / Disqualified), maintain a live approved-supplier list, and track periodic re-evaluation so approvals don't silently go stale.

Supplier approval, holds and disqualification are electronic-signature events that bind the evaluation. Approval sets the next re-evaluation date automatically, and the list flags overdue re-evaluations. A hold takes a supplier off the approved list while a problem is investigated, without discarding the qualification. Supplier audits feed the supplier file.
