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
- Locate the Request you wish to decline.
- Click the red X button that appears to the right of the Request.
- On the new page that appears, select a reason for declining from the dropdown box.
- (Optional) Provide feedback for why you are declining to respond.
- Click on Submit and Decline to confirm.
Results/Validation
The Request will move to the Archived Requests section. You will no longer receive email notifications for updates/reminders regarding the Request.
You can access the archived section by hovering over My Responses in the menubar.
