Postings that are made by a vendor via vendor posting and use a template that requires approval are called booking requests.
As a manager or administrator of a business account, you can approve or reject these requests.
If a request is approved, it will be converted into a proper shipment, and our operations team will immediately commence work on the booking.
If a request is rejected, the supplier will be notified with an optional message of your choice. The request will still be accessible for record-keeping purposes under the "Requests" section of your Forto account.
If you approve or reject a booking request, please keep in mind that you will receive a notification in your Forto account and an email when a new bid is submitted. The booking request can be identified by its number, which always starts with "BR" (for "booking request").
By clicking on the notification or button in your email, you can open the respective booking request.
On this page, you can view all the information regarding the booking request, and on the right-hand side, you can approve or reject it. Optionally, you can write a message that will be saved in the activity feed and also sent via email.
In both cases, your supplier will receive a confirmation email containing your message. Once a booking request is confirmed, it will be converted into a proper shipment (identified by a number starting with "S") and will be displayed on your shipment page.
