RFx changes (during the bidding phase)
While an RFx is open for bidding it can't be modified by procurement. However, you can unlock it by clicking on the button.1This feature can be globally enabled / disabled, according to your company policy.
On an unlocked RFx the most common actions are:
- Add new suppliers
- Change the Bid closing date/time and Bid opening date/time
- Delete and add documents.
After updating the RFx, it is necessary to lock it by clicking the Lock button. A message giving you the option to inform suppliers about the change will appear.
If you click YES, suppliers will receive an e-mail notification that changes have occurred.2After changes have been made it is recommended to inform supplier about changes that have been made to the RFx. For example that the RFx has been extended by two days.
