RFx Properties

When you create a request for quote, the system populates the event properties with the values and settings that you specify.

Bid Required

Select to indicate that bidders must enter a bid amount for all event lines and a bid quantity for all quantity-based lines. If you leave this check box cleared, bidders must enter bid amounts and quantities on only event lines that have the Bid Required check box selected on the line.

Display Bid Question Weights

Select to allow bidders to view the weight that is associated with a bid question.

Display Bid History Page

Select to allow bidders to view bid history.

Default Price Bid Question Code

Specify the code for the generic price bid question. The system updates the RFx detail lines with this code during the Create Event process. The system uses this generic price bid question only if you selected the Bid Required property or the RFx detail line and did not select any other price bid question.

RFx Document Type

Specify a document type for the system to assign to an RFx event. The system uses this document type for next numbers and as a key for the sourcing event tables.

Create Blanket or PO (purchase order)

Specify whether the system creates a blanket order or purchase order when awarding an event. Values are hard-coded in UDC table 43Q/BP and include:

B: Blanket order

P: Purchase order

Line Quantity Required

Select to force the bidders' bid quantity to be equal to the line quantity that you enter on the sourcing event.

Sealed Event

Select to specify that the event is sealed. If you select this check box, the event originator cannot view the bids until after the event has ended. If you do not select this check box, the event originator can view bids prior to the end of the event.

Allow Manual Extensions

Select to allow users to change the event end date and time after the event has been posted.
