UO New Supplier Requests
Improvements have been made to the UO New Supplier Requests report and have been implemented in LIVE as of Monday 23 October 2023. The changes made are:
• A parameter has been added to include/exclude ‘stubbed requests’ - see the report instructions for a description of a stubbed request. Previously stubbed requests have been filtered out of the report and so the parameter is set to not include the stubbed requests by default.
• The notes column in the Excel output has been widened to help with reading the notes
• The time element in the Request Date column has been re-instated when the date cell is selected.
From Tuesday 24 October - all existing schedules for UO New Supplier Requests report will need to be cancelled and new ones created to ensure the latest version of the report is run and your schedules do not error. Please only run ‘fresh’ submissions and do not use the ‘previous submissions’ functionality, to ensure the latest version of the report is run.
