Negotiation Calendar

Different types of negotiations are auctions, RFQs, and RFIs. These are the negotiations for which you are either the owner or a collaboration member, and published negotiations which you can access. Draft negotiations are not shown.

Amended and Round Complete negotiations are displayed as separate negotiation.

  • If the preview date and award date are specified, then duration shown is from preview date to award date. If the preview date is not specified, then the preview date is the same as the open date. If award date is not specified, then the award date is the same as the close date. For negotiations in amended or round completed status, only close date is used even if award date is specified.

  • If the award date is not specified and staggered closing is used, then the close date is the close date of the last staggered line.

  • If a negotiation is paused, then the event duration does not change until the negotiation is resumed. Then the event duration is adjusted according to new close or award date.

The beginning and ending times displayed depend on the negotiation definition.

Additionally, the calendar shows two kinds of task events.

  • Tasks assigned to the user as a collaboration team member. These events will be displayed as all-day tasks on the target date of the task specified in the negotiation. Even if the negotiation is still a draft, this event will appear in the calendar. Tasks without a target date will not be displayed on the Negotiation calendar.

  • Tasks assigned to other users in negotiations for which the user is the owner. These events will be displayed as all-days tasks on the target date. Even if the negotiation is still a draft, this event will appear in the calendar. Tasks without a target date will not be displayed on the Negotiation calendar.
