Use Negotiation Options for Catalog Shopping-Based Items

You can choose whether a catalog item-based requisition line requires negotiation or indicate if it has already been negotiated. For requisition lines created using a master item with or without a blanket purchase agreement as well as description-based lines with a blanket purchase agreement, you can enable these attributes while editing the line details. Additionally, lines created using Punchout flows are also eligible for this.

The Negotiated and Negotiation Required attributes are hidden by default. You can make them visible via Extensibility.

When enabled to display on the Edit Lines Details page, this will be the default behavior:

  • Negotiation Required: It will be deselected by default.
  • Negotiated:
    • For agreement-based lines: If enabled on the agreement, then it's read-only and selected. If not enabled on the agreement, then it is editable and deselected by default.
    • For non-agreement lines: It will be editable and deselected by default.

Here is an illustration of the Line Details page where these attributes are available.

You should not enable both of these attributes for a line. If both attributes are enabled, the "Negotiation Required" attribute will take precedence, and the line will be placed in the Process Requisitions queue. 

Here is an illustration of a scenario where the line has already been negotiated in the agreement, it will be read-only on the requisition line.
