A bidder-specific RFx document is only possible if the Allow Bidder RFx Edits check box is selected when the event is posted. If the bidder uploads a revised version of the RFx document the current response can be viewed on the Analyze Events page.

If multiple rounds or versions take place for the event, the prior uploaded bidder Rfx document can be viewed on the Event Details page.

To view the Bidder RFx Document, follow these steps:

  1. Create an event of type RFx and post it to the bidders.

  2. Create a bid response for each bidder.

  3. Create the new version of the event from the event work bench page.

  4. Click on Event Comments and Attachments link.

  5. Click on Bidder RFx Document link.

Note: The RFx Documents are not supported within the Sourcing Event Templates.

Use the RFx Document Bidder Details page (AUC_BIDDER_RFX_DOC) to view bid responses for an event.

Sourcing > Create Events > Event Details > Event Comments and Attachments. Click the Bidder RFx Document button.
