If the deadline for final offers is reached and not all IMs have set their acceptance indicators to green, an IM being forced by national legislation to send the final offer may start the partial offer process.
If IM has to switch to partial offer in the control menu, a mandatory comments field opens. IM has to enter information about the legal requirement for switching the dossier to partial offer now, without all IM acceptance indicators green.
Note: A warning will be shown on pdf-exports or printouts of PCS dossiers in a partial offer for identification of these dossiers.
