Redwood: Reopen Award Decision

In Redwood, you can now reopen an awarded and finalized negotiation to award a different supplier even after purchasing documents are created. You must cancel or delete all purchasing documents created from the previous award decision to reopen the finalized award. Enter the reason for reopening, which can be shared with award approvers in the award approval notification.

You can also send an online message to all supplier participants while reopening the award.

The feature’s behavior in Redwood is the same as the classic application. Refer to the key resources section for more details.

Reopen Finalized Award

A completed RFI can also be reopened, which can be leveraged to create a new round or to create new surrogate responses.

This feature provides category managers the flexibility to manage real world business challenges. For example, if the awarded supplier declines to fulfill the purchase order, they can change their award decision to choose the next eligible supplier and recreate the purchasing documents.
