Creating a Supplier Alert

To create a supplier alert, open the supplier profile and edit the Supplier Alerts area.

Find and open the supplier profile.

Expand the

Supplier Alerts

area.

Define the alert by setting the following options:

Option	Description
Message Type	Select the type of alert.
Message	Type the text that you want to display to the supplier.
External Link	To include a link with the message text, specify a URL.
Effective Start Date	Set this date if you want to begin displaying the alert at a future date. If this option is undefined, the alert appears on the Supplier Portal after the edit is saved or, if you send the edit for approval, after the edit is approved.
Effective End Date	Set this date if you want to remove the alert at a future date. If this option is undefined, the alert remains on the Supplier Portal until you set this date.
