How to inform an internal or external supplier of a newly created 8D report

Your suppliers can update the analysis steps and corrective actions online giving you instant progress information. To notify the suppliers, either internal or external, automatically by the system, the steps below need to be followed:

1. When creating an 8D report, choose a supplier with an email address of a contact person. That person is setup as an 8D partner with the access to your instance for 8D reports.
2. If a supplier or a contact person is not in the system, you have to create it first. (how-to-create-a-new-supplier-and-his-login-details)
