Staggered Closing

You can use staggered closing to cause the closing of a negotiation's lines to cascade through the negotiation once the negotiation's initial close time is reached.

You specify the close time and date for the first negotiation line and then specify a staggered closing period. The first negotiation line closes at the negotiation time originally defined in the negotiation document. The second (and remaining) negotiation line remains open. After the specified staggered closing period, the next line closes. The remaining lines close in a similar fashion, each line closing after its preceding line. Lines in lots or groups have the same close time. When using staggered closing, the lines close in the order they're defined in the document, the sequence in which the lines appear on the negotiation document is important.
