Checking for Alerts with Suspensions

In some Alerted scenarios, the record is suspended from advancing the workflow. The Alert message provides the cause of the error and the Order Management user needs to correct the error and clear the Alert and suspension to let the record advance the workflow.

After the alert has been addressed, clicking the Clear Alerts button removes the message from the top of the record but not the System Events. You can unsuspended a record by clicking the ??? along the top right of the dialog. Records that are Suspended include Alerts.

Example: A merchant adds a new Item to the Amazon site. The Item doesn't exist in Order Management. However, the Sales Order is Suspended and can't progress to fulfillment until the issue with the Order is resolved. The Order includes an Alert that identifies the reason for the Suspension. The Order Management user views the Sales Order Alert and determines that the Item with the Amazon SKU doesn't exist in Order Management. The Order Management user needs to create a new Item with the Amazon SKU as the Order Management Item Code.
