2. How to handle missing data?
Questions raised:
If an acceptor doesn’t want to give me the information for next step due to confidentiality data, what options do I have to complete the report ?
One of my companies are traders and they give me a document with the information for the next step, but not the name of the final acceptor, can I register them (traders) for final steps?

3. Confidential data ... ... how to complete a report?
(first step) treatment partner is responsible to provide all data ...
keep on trying to get data..., in case change acceptor ...
sign confidentiality agreement
option to set a ‘task’ to the acceptor of the fraction <> acceptor has to get WF-RepTool access + must be willing to fulfil task – TP is still responsible that task will be fulfilled
finish report with best estimations ... est. yield, technology ...
apply worst case scenario*) if no info on final technology
Add best estimations:
determine the composition of ‘your fraction’
if you know the technology of the acceptor: estimate yield of fractions and/or the use in the final technology
if you don’t know technology: use most applicable technology in country of delivery
*) for not metals

4. Register traders for final steps?
NO – not to register traders as final acceptor/s <> we ask for physical operators!
to complete the report?:
insert information on next step treatment provided (e.g. yield of fractions <> composition of fractions, technology /ies used …)
insert as final acceptor: ‘no information by acceptor’ (! use any uniform term in your reports – then you may search/sort for it + add data when provided)
