If you have installed only the Risk Assessments Integration for Supplier Lifecycle Operations \[com.snc.sn_supplier_tprm\] plugin, the Perform risk assessment playbook triggers the flow that includes activities to verify the
eligibility of the supplier by creating risk assessments.

The Risk Assessments Integration for Supplier Lifecycle Operations \[com.snc.sn_supplier_tprm\] plugin automatically installs the Vendor Risk Management \[sn_vdr_risk_asmt\] plugin.  
Figure 1. Risk assessment flow when only VRM is installed  
In this flow, the following occurs:

1. The supplier manager receives a supplier onboarding request.
2. The supplier manager uses the onboarding playbook, which provides a streamlined and guided process to onboard suppliers. For more information, see [Use the supplier onboarding playbook to onboard suppliers](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/DOrPjhdXgSR5XG2uJ9BliQ#use-playbooks-onboard-supp "Supplier owners and supplier managers can use the supplier onboarding playbook to complete the tasks and activities that are needed to onboard new suppliers.").
3. During the onboarding process, the playbook automatically creates the risk and tiering assessments. The assessment records are listed in the Risk Assessments and Tiering Assessments tabs.
4. The supplier manager assigns the risk and tiering assessments to the third-party risk assessor.
5. The TPR assessor assigns the assessments to the supplier contact.
6. The supplier contact logs in to the Supplier Collaboration Portal and completes the risk and tiering assessments. For more information, see [Complete a risk assessment from the Supplier Collaboration Portal](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Fl3poiYBs1m9Sg6m5q5SIw "As a supplier contact, you can view and complete your assigned risk assessments to help the supplier manager in evaluating a supplier before onboarding them.").
7. After the risk assessment has been completed, the supplier manager evaluates the risk information in combination with any other data and determines whether to continue or cancel the onboarding process.After the assessments are
   completed, you can continue with completing the activities in the Activation stage.
