Upon logging in, the Home will present you with a summary of recent trading partner relationship activity. At the top of the screen is a section called Requests to Trade With Me. This is where all incoming requests to trade with you are shown. The screen shows the company name, date the request was submitted, and a column called Respond to. This last column provides a link that will bring you to a new page. This new page will contain a procedure for moving forward with the relationship process, though what the exact procedure is depends on the status of the request.
If the Status is New:
Click the link to go to the management screen. This screen displays the proposed trading relationship in more detail, giving you the requesting company's contact information, proposed manufacturers and availability options.
If you wish to accept the trading relationship as it is, click the Accept button at the bottom of the screen.
If you do not wish to accept the trading relationship as it is, type in a brief message explaining why in the field provided and click the Decline button.
