Filtering Bidders
During the BP run-time, the list of available bidders depends on the defined options.
- When you do not select set additional filter for a bidder in the RFB BP, and you are in a Shell, then:
If a Line Item type BP of sub-type, "Line item to filter Company BP record" exists and the option of, "Use Master Vendor list filtered at Project level" is checked, the list of vendors will be filtered based on this existing functionality.
- When you select set additional filter for bidder in the RFB BP and you are in a Shell, then:
A filtered list of potential bidders is listed which includes all those bidders referenced by the BP Data Picker and the system ignores the Line Item type BP of sub-type, "Line item to filter Company BP record." To see the approved list of vendors with more information, go to your project Logs grouping node in the left Navigator, and click the business process that created the vendor list for your project, and from the toolbar, click View filtered records.
The BP Data Picker:
- Does not need to be populated in the RFB form.
- Value will always be ignored, and the system uses the query conditions on the Data Picker to filter the list of vendors.
If no query conditions are defined for the BP Data Picker, you will see the list of all vendors.
If the BP Data Picker is placed in the hidden block, you can filter the list of vendors through the defined query conditions.
