Things to note
- Your approved suppliers are pre-loaded when you first create a request - you only need to add suppliers manually if you want to go beyond your approved list
- If you add a non-approved supplier, their approval status will show as “Not started” - a reminder that you’d need to complete an approval if you select their quote
- You can also remove pre-loaded suppliers by clicking the X next to their name if you don’t want to quote them for this request
