Redwood: Respond by Spreadsheet in Supplier Portal

You can now use a spreadsheet to create a negotiation response in the Redwood themed Oracle Supplier Portal. Simply export a template, fill in the details offline, and drag and drop the file to import and submit your response values.

The redwood page now supports creating response using spreadsheets for simple negotiations (RFI, RFQ) that have requirements and lines, but no line details such as cost factors, line attributes, or price tiers. Category managers can configure the negotiation style to allow suppliers to export and import one or more spreadsheet templates – Requirement and lines, Requirements only, and Lines only.
