While a Request is open, you can make changes or updates by editing it.
If the Request has already closed but you have not unlocked the Supplier responses, you can reopen it by extending the closing date. To do this, you will need to edit the Request (as explained below). Once reopened, you will be able to edit other aspects.
Note: You cannot uninvite Suppliers to a Request. If you need a Request to be hidden from Suppliers, you will need to make it inactive.
To edit an open Request, click the 'blue arrow' icon to the right of it and select the 'Edit this request' option within the pop-up box.
In the Request Wizard, click the tab you want to make changes to. Ensure you click the 'Continue/Update/Save and Continue' button at the bottom of each step you make changes to.
Once you have finished editing, go to the 'Save and Update' tab. Here, you will be given the option to notify Suppliers of any changes you have made.
Please enter a summary of these changes into the red box (this will be emailed to Suppliers), and click the 'Save Changes' button at the bottom of the page.
If required, you can send a message to Suppliers without actually making any changes to your Request. To do this, go straight to the 'Save and Update' tab, type your message to Suppliers, select if you want to notify all Suppliers, and click the 'Save Changes' button.
Note: Suppliers that have declined to respond to your request won't be sent the update email.
