Review documents you've received from your supplier

Learn how to review documents or delegate the review task.

When a supplier sends you some or all or the documents you’ve requested you’ll need to either review the documents and approve or reject them, or delegate the review responsibilities to someone else in your organization.

Tip!

Working with Supplier Docs in a workflow

Projects can often use some workflow-specific settings that affect the Document Status. For example, if a workflow uses a specific Workflow Status Set, documents added it are superseded with a new status that shows they are in a workflow. However, these settings aren't used if you start a workflow as part of Supplier Documents.

  1. Log in to your project.
  2. In the Tasks page you’ll see the new documents listed under Submitted.
  3. Click on the link to open the request.
  1. You'll see the Supplier Documents - Submitted page.

Now you can:

Reviewing the document yourself

  1. Click the arrow next to the document.
  2. You can view the document by selecting Open using the arrow in the File column.
  3. Now select the review status for the document. The statuses are chosen by the project owning organization, so the ones you see will depend on your project. However, they might look something like this:
    • Approved - no further action is needed
    • Rejected - the supplier needs to resubmit the document
    • Not reviewed - defer the review until later.
  1. Now, if you:
    • need to review more documents in this package - click the Save and Continue button. Go back to step 1 in this article.
