Re-importing projects via SmartImport for suppliers
SmartImport for supplier projects only works for projects that have been checked out via Supplier Check-Out and re-imported with the SupplierDeliveryNote.vdog-sdn file. In addition, the component into which the project files are to be imported must be checked out, in other words, available locally, at the time of the import.
It is recommended that suppliers return project files either in a folder named "ProjectData" or in a ZIP archive "ProjectData.zip".
