To ensure vendors can start working on the project tasks they can be assigned to (Engineering, Translation, Linguistic review, Implement customer review, DTP), you must first approve the vendor quote. Access the Vendor Quote Approval task assigned to you from the Inbox view.
Procedure
- Log in to Trados Enterprise (by accessing this link: http://languagecloud.sdl.com/lc).
- Go to the Inbox view.
- Select the New tab.
- Identify the task and select the check box corresponding to the task row.
- Do one of the following:
- If you don't want to check the task details, but want to start working straight away, select Accept.
- If you want to check the task details (before accepting it), select the task, and in the [task_name] window, check the task details and select Accept.
- Select the Active tab.
- Identify the task and select the check box corresponding to the task row.
- In the [task_name] window, check the quote, the initial due date and the estimated due date. You cannot edit the estimated due date. If the task assigned to the vendor is of the Engineering type, you can consult the target languages of the files when opening the task details panel.
After you approve the quote, the estimated translation due date is set as the due date for the translation tasks. To change the due date, open the project, access the Workflow tab, and edit the due date for the tasks of interest. Note that vendors do not get notified of this change, so you must notify them yourself.
- To approve the quote, select Accept Quote.
