Issue the Responsible Party's formal response

When the contents of the stage gate package have been reviewed, you can issue a formal response on behalf of the Responsible Party.

To issue the Responsible Party's response:

1. Click the link to AVEVA Contract Risk Management in your notification email.

   If necessary, sign in.

   The Stage Gate Action Process page is displayed.

2. Click the Respond tab.

3. Click Formal Response.

   The Send Formal Response window is displayed.

4. Select an option from the Response drop-down list.

   Note The options available on the Response drop-down list are customized by the sender. Only one response allows the tender to progress. All other responses prevent the progression of the tender. If you have not granted approval, the originator may submit a revised approval request.

5. Enter any explanatory notes in the Response Notes field.

6. Click the icon in the Add Files section to add a document to the response if required.

7. Click Browse to locate the document.

   When you have added the document, the File Pathway and File Name fields are populated automatically. You can edit the File Name if required.

8. Click OK.

   A confirmation message is displayed.

   An image is displayed on the page background (a green tick image if approval has been granted, a red x image if approval has not been granted). The Respond tab disappears as no further action can be taken.

   Note The stage gate task remains on your My Current Tasks dashboard until the tender has been closed.
