NL: The system does not retrieve and automatically attach bid questions based on the event line commodity code.

SL: The system retrieves and automatically attaches bid questions based on only the event line commodity code.

The system stores these values in UDC table 43Q/CC.

Bidder Role

Specify the security role for a bidder who is not yet an established supplier within the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system. The system uses this value when the user signs in to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system. The role that you specify for the bidder must be different from the role that you specify for the supplier in the Supplier Role field. When a bidder is awarded a bid, the system changes that bidder's role to the role for a supplier.
