Import Response Lines

Use the Import Response Lines process to import lines from supplier's response into a large negotiation created in Oracle Sourcing.

When to Use

Use this process to upload or update response into a large negotiation. The process also supports responding to line child entities – external cost factors, line level attributes, quantity based price tiers and price breaks. As a supplier bidder, you can use this process to update response by adding prices against line items in the response spreadsheet and uploading into Oracle Sourcing. As a category manager, you can use this process to upload surrogate response on behalf of a supplier bidder. A large negotiation must be enabled in the negotiation style.

You must have one of these privileges:

• Create Supplier Negotiation Response (PON_CREATE_SUPPLIER_NEGOTIATION_RESPONSE_PRIV)
• Create Supplier Negotiation Response as Surrogate (PON_CREATE_SURROGATE_SUPPLIER_NEGOTIATION_RESPONSE_PRIV)
