If a supplier has not yet processed a request (status "not viewed"), he is automatically reminded of the request by system e-mail after a specified period. The time of the reminder is determined automatically depending on the remaining time until the deadline according to the following scheme:
-
The 1st reminder takes place after 1/3 of the remaining time until the deadline.
-
The 2nd reminder takes place after 2/3 of the remaining time until the deadline.
Example of 12 days to deadline:
→ The 1st reminder takes place after 12*1/3=4 days
→ The 2nd reminder takes place after 12*2/3=8 days
The reminder workflow is started per supplier, it starts
-
When starting the request for all selected suppliers
-
When adding a new supplier to an ongoing request (activation of the change)
The reminder workflow is terminated when
-
The supplier has activated or rejected the request.
-
The supplier has been removed from the request.
-
The request has been cancelled.
