During the rating process RapidRatings may have reason to revert to your supplier seeking further information. Generally, these relate to missing or incomplete financial data or a change in the entity providing the data.
Where will I see it?
When this happens we update the status of the rating process which is visible in the Activity Log on your Program Management page. An orange tag, indicating the status, is seen under the company name in the Request record; the explanation appears in the Activity Log.
