Approving event awards using the Inbasket

  1. Sign in as Buyer and select Manage Events > Draft.
  2. Select the event.
  3. Access the Process Server and select Inbasket. Select an item to view in the Work Units list.

    The Work Units list contains items for each event line that needs to be approved. You can select whether to show the decision box for each item.

  4. Specify this information:
    Approve
    The event is sent to the next person in the approval process and an email notification is sent to the Buyer.

    For final approval, the event is sent to the Approved status.

    For events in an Approved status, suppliers who are listed on the Notifications tab and suppliers who have responded to the event receive an email notification. Note that your administrator can configure the solution to send an email to a winning supplier.

    Disapprove
    Returns the event to an Open status. An email notification is sent to the buyer.

    If the event award is approved, the next person in the approval process is responsible for reviewing the award. This person does not receive an -mail notification in their Inbasket. A notification that instructs the person to view their Inbasket can be incorporated into the process file.

    After a dispute period ends, output for the event can be generated.
