In uDesigner:
- Verify that the correct vendor list is linked to the RFB.
- Open your vendor master (Master Vendor BP/Vendor Master BP) business process properties and click the Options tab.
- Make sure the field Use this process as RFB master vendor list is checked. This option links the vendor list to your RFB.
- Make sure the correct vendor list has been specified as the RFB’s reference process.
- Open the RFB and click Reference Processes in the Navigator.
- Verify that the RFB references the correct vendor BP.
In uDesigner, for the RFB business process (BP), you can select a BP Data Picker that references a Line Item type BP that can be used to filter the available bidders in the Option tab.
The BP Data Picker that is available for selection is the one that has been added to the Requestor Upper Forms.
The selected BP Data Picker points to the Line Item type BP that contains the BP Data Picker (BP Picker) that is in the Detail Form and subsequently points to the Master Vendor BP/Vendor Master BP, at the Company level.
The following explains the workflow:
- In the RFB BP, the Options tab enables you to set the data picker that you need to connect to the Line Item type BP.
- The Requestor BP form contains the data picker that points to the Line Item type BP.
- In the Line Item type BP, the Details Line Item record contains the BP Data Picker/BP Picker that is required to connect to the Vendor BP.
- The Data Picker/BP Picker points to a Master Vendor BP/Vendor Master BP record at the Company level. You can use the query condition, on the data picker, to filter the list of vendors.
- The Vendor BP contains the list of vendors who are available for bidding.
