# How do I enable transitive dependencies for my SBOM?

Ketryx built-in dependency scanning currently only supports direct dependencies of a project, e.g. top-level dependencies. To enable transitive dependency management, you'll need to perform the following steps:

1. Using the [Build API,](https://docs.ketryx.com/api/build-api) submit SPDX (Software Package Data Exchange) files in JSON format that contain all dependencies of a project, including transitive dependencies.
2. Additionally, as the organization owner, you will need to enable transitive dependencies in your [advanced settings](https://docs.ketryx.com/reference/advanced-settings#create-transitive-dependency-items).
