Bid Questions for Items and Commodities

You can assign an item number or a commodity to line questions. When you create an event for a specific item, the system displays all line questions that are attached to that item. Depending on how you set the Commodity Level Search option in the Sourcing Constants program (P43Q90), the system can also display either all questions based on the event line commodity, or all questions based on the event line commodity as well as all other commodities at a higher level in the commodity structure. You set up the commodity structure in the Requisition Self Service system.

See "Setting Up the Commodity Structure" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Requisition Self Service Implementation Guide.

See Setting Up System Constants for Operational Sourcing.

When the system displays the event line questions for the item or commodity of the event line, you can either use the questions as is, or you can modify the questions to meet the needs of the specific event. You can also add new questions.
