To approve an event award using the Inbasket

  1. Access Buyer > Draft tab.
  2. Select the event that you want to award and review the event information.
  3. Access Process Server > Inbasket and 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 choose to display the decision box for each item.

  4. Use the following guidelines to select an approval option:
    Approve

    The event is sent to the next person in the approval process and an e-mail notification is sent to the Buyer.

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

    Note: 

    For events in an Approved status, suppliers who are listed on the Notifications tab and suppliers who have responded to the event, also receive an e-mail notification. (Unless your administrator has configured the application to send an e-mail onto to a winning supplier).

    Disapprove

    Returns the event to an Open status. An e-mail 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 e-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 (if any) ends, output for the event can be generated.
