Managing Obsolete Registration Requests

This topic discusses how to review and manage obsolete registration requests initiated by suppliers and bidders. Internal users can also initiate registration requests on behalf of suppliers or bidders. Notifications default to requesters, but more recipients, who may have interest in the request being withdrawn, can be added.
