If the rejected invoice originated from Ariba Supplier Network (Ariba SN), Ariba Buyer sends a status update to the supplier automatically. The supplier is responsible for submitting a corrected invoice. Otherwise, the Ariba Buyer system administrator must contact the supplier about the rejected invoice.

When an invoice is rejected and must be sent back to the supplier for correction, Ariba Buyer emails a notification message to users who have the Invoice Rejection Email permission (typically purchasing agents). The message indicates who rejected the invoice.
