Language, Time Zone, and Date Format for Vendors BP

While creating a Vendors BP, you have an option to set the language, date format, and time zone specific to your bidders:

Note: The languages listed are the active languages selected by the administrator in the Configuration - Internationalization log.

The notifications follow the preferences of the user who has been specified in Bid Management Account field who is designated as the manager for all bidders or the company bid contact. This information can be found using the following steps:

  1. Go to the Company Workspace tab and switch to Admin mode.
  2. In the left Navigator, select Company Workspace, select Open, and then select Bid Management Account.

Selecting the above options enables the bidder to receive email notifications (also Unifier Bidder Portal web page content and Bidder forms) in the bidder's language, date format, and time zone.

If the above options are not available, or not selected, the bidder receives email notifications (also Unifier Bidder Portal web page content and Bidder forms) following the user preferences whose name is indicated in the Bid Management Account field.

Note: If the RFB master vendor list BP (master vendor BP/vendor master BP) includes Date Format data element but no value is selected, the system displays a default date format (for example, MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm AM). The uppercase MM in the date format denotes month and lowercase mm denotes minutes. The Company Administrator must set the respective bidder's date format in the RFB master vendor list BP.

Unlike a standard user, a bidder user cannot change the preferences in the bidder portal. When this option is clicked, the Preferences set forth in Vendor information record (for the vendor) will be seen in view only mode.
