Converting Bidders to Suppliers
This topic includes information about converting bidders to suppliers.
There are two ways to convert bidders to suppliers. A bidder may be converted into the supplier master record upon being awarded a bid, if the Allow Supplier Creation at Award check box was selected in setup pages. Or you can individually convert bidders to suppliers outside of a sourcing event using the Convert Bidder to Supplier page. In both cases, bidder profile question information is carried forward to the supplier table.
