Reviewing and Editing Supplier Change Requests
This topic discusses how to review and edit supplier change requests before submitting them for approval.
User roles associated to the permission list EPCO6200 are allowed to edit submitted change requests. A request can have multiple editors. To route a request to an editor for review, the required Supplier Request Options must be enabled on the Supplier Request System Setup - General Page. The editor can make changes if necessary, and submit the request for approval.
For more information on Supplier Request Options, see Supplier Request System Setup - General Page.

When an editor accesses a change request for editing, it gets locked automatically, and prevents other editors from accessing it. If another editor attempts to edit the same request, a message displays indicating that editing is in progress by another editor.
Here are some scenarios how the lock works:
A change request accessed for editing gets unlocked after 20 minutes, and other editors can access it. Any unsaved changes will be lost.
A change request gets locked if it has been inactive for a certain period of time. The request gets unlocked after 20 minutes and other editors can access it.
Other editors cannot access a change request if it is not closed properly (by selecting the Return button or the Exit button). It gets unlocked automatically after 20 minutes. Therefore, close the request properly or save the changes, so that the lock is released as soon as the editing is complete and other editors can access the same request.

Notifications delivered with FSCM Image 49 or later must use Notification Composer.

Note: During the approval process, if the approver wants more information, the request can be sent back to the editor. The editor then sends the request to the requester. If the Supplier Profile Change option is not enabled for the editor, the request is directly sent back to the requester.
