Reminder function for submitting a quotation

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:

1. The 1st reminder takes place after 1/3 of the remaining time until the deadline.

2. 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

1. When starting the request for all selected suppliers

2. When adding a new supplier to an ongoing request (activation of the change)

The reminder workflow is terminated when

1. The supplier has activated or rejected the request.

2. The supplier has been removed from the request.

3. The request has been cancelled.
