# What should I do if my prerequisite response is rejected by a buyer?

## Resolution

**Question**

What should I do if my prerequisite response is rejected by a buyer?

**Answer**

When your sourcing buyer rejects your prerequisite response, you are able to revise your response and submit a new answer on the Review and Accept Prerequisite step of the event.

There is an automated email notification sent to you when your answer is rejected. The buyer can provide a comment to explain the action. If you have any doubts about the rejection, please contact your buyer directly using the [event message board](https://support.ariba.com/item/view/149455).
