The To Do List region of the Suppliers page displays the number of outstanding change requests that have been generated by suppliers. Only the nominated next AME approver can update and Approve or Reject the request. General administrators, those with access to the pages, can review details but cannot save any changes. The requests are broken down by type:
New Supplier Requests: Each new supplier invitee added to a Sourcing event creates a New Supplier Request. Suppliers that have not responded to the invitation are listed with a status of Supplier to Provide Details. As an administrator, you can access the invitation and fill out the details on behalf of the supplier if you need to approve them to participate in the bidding for the Sourcing event. Those prospective suppliers who have responded to the invitation and registered their details are listed as Pending Approval and can be reviewed and approved by the administrators identified in the approval flow hierarchy.
Prospective Supplier Registrations: These represent registration requests from walk-up supplier registrations. Suppliers can save in process requests which appear as Draft requests. Those that have been submitted show as Pending Approval.
Address, Contact, Business Classification, or Products and Services Requests: Displays that there are corresponding requests submitted by any supplier.
Bank Account Requests: Displays that there are bank account request updates submitted by any supplier.
The numbers next to the requests indicate the number of new account requests and also the number of assignment requests.
