  2. Click Request Document
  3. Select the document type you need (e.g., SDS, COA, TDS)
  4. Add any notes for the supplier (optional)
  5. Click Send Request

What happens next

  • An email is sent to the supplier’s contact requesting the document
  • The request is logged against the quote
  • When the supplier provides the document, it will be attached to the quote and/or the approval record
