You can change the bidder email in the RFB Vendors BP > Line Item Type Vendor > Bidder Email.
If you accept the change (click Finish Editing or Save > Yes), then the system updates the vendor record, with the new email address.
If Unifier is not integrated with Oracle Identity Manager (OIM), then:
- If there are active bids for the vendor, then the system sends an email to the vendor with their username and password.
- If there are no active bids, then the system changes the email address, but the system does not send an email to the vendor.
Note: Unifier deactivates the old email address.
If you do not accept the change (click Finish > No), then the system reverts back to the original email address.
If Unifier is integrated with OIM, then the system does not send a notification/email if you update the vendor email address, regardless of the status of the bid (active/inactive).
If Unifier is integrated with OIM, and a new account has been established for a vendor, then OIM sends a notification/email if you change the vendor email address. The notification/email contains the new sign-in information.
To change the vendor email address through integration, Reverse Auto-population (RAP), or Bulk Edit
If Unifier is integrated with OIM, then:
If you update the vendor's email address on the vendor record by way of integration, Reverse Auto-population (RAP), or Bulk Edit, then the system updates the record with the new email address and creates a new account in OIM, automatically. The OIM sends a notification/email that includes the sign-in information (username and password) to the vendor's new email address from OIM.
If Unifier is not integrated with OIM, then:
If you update the vendor's email address on the vendor record by way of integration, Reverse Auto-population (RAP), or Bulk Edit, then the system updates the record with the new email address and sends an email to the vendor, if the bids are active.
Note: The system does not send an email to the vendor if the bids are inactive.
