Approving events

Events can be manually approved if users do not have access to the Process Flow Inbasket.

  1. Sign in as Sourcing Manager and select Create Events.
  2. Select an event with a Pending Event Approval status.
  3. Select Actions > Manual Approve.
    The event is displayed on the Open list. The event is posted on Supplier Portal and notifications are sent to suppliers that are listed on the Notifications tab. If the event has a date range and the open date has not been reached, then the event status is set to Pending Approval.

    If you select Manual Disapprove, then the event is returned to a draft status and an email notification is sent to the Buyer.

    If you select Manual Reject, then the event is returned to a Canceled status and an email is sent to the Buyer. If the close date has not passed, then the event can be approved later.
