My project shows pending and it seems the vendor community cannot see it

Problem

Your Project is set to Public but is not showing in your Portal. When you go to the Project Details page, it shows as Pending.

Cause

A project must be in Open Stage in order to be visible to the Public.

Solution

 You can change the Open date by editing the schedule of the Project:

First click Actions > Edit Schedule

You will be able to move the open date to an earlier date using the calendar under the Dates dropdown menu:

Click Save Project at the bottom of the screen and your schedule will be saved.
