This article provides step-by-step instructions for Suppliers on how to officially opt out of a Request and manage their inbox notifications for that Request.

When a Supplier chooses to Decline to Respond to a Request, it notifies the Buyer that they will not be submitting a response. Declining also stops any further email notifications related to that Request.

Prerequisites

  • You must be a Supplier.
  • You must have been invited to a closed Request.

Steps to Decline to Respond

  1. Locate the Request you wish to decline.
  2. Click the red X button that appears to the right of the Request.

  3. On the new page that appears, select a reason for declining from the dropdown box.
