Bid and Takeoff Entry
Enter bid contracts in a similar way as entering purchase orders in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement system. When you enter a bid, enter a bid header and the associated bid detail information. When you enter takeoffs, you enter a takeoff item and assign the quantities and prices for items based on the plan, elevation, and options.
Whether you use bids or takeoffs, the end result is the same. The Lot Start process uses the purchase information from bid contracts and takeoffs to generate lot-specific commitments, or purchase orders, within the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement system. You use these purchase orders to contract and pay subcontractors or suppliers for their goods and services.
