Redwood: Change Negotiation Outcome During Award

You can now change the preset negotiation outcome of purchase order to a blanket purchase agreement, or contract purchase agreement, or a different purchase order template, after the award is finalized without needing to restart the negotiation process.

Change Negotiation Outcome During Award

• Greater flexibility at the point of award: Adjust the outcome without duplicating work or restarting negotiations.
• Reduced rework and cycle time: Quickly correct outcome selection to align with contracting strategy and supplier award decisions.
• Provides flexibility to respond to real world business scenarios where buyers may want to establish a long term agreement for repetitive purchases after a favorable negotiation instead of creating a one time order.

Steps to enable and configure

To use this feature, you must enable these profile options if you haven't already.

• Redwood Pages for Sourcing Enabled (ORA_PON_SOURCING_REDWOOD_ENABLED). 
• Redwood Pages to Create Negotiation Enabled (ORA_PON_CREATE_NEGOTIATION_REDWOOD_ENABLED)
• Redwood Pages to Award Negotiation Enabled (ORA_PON_AWARD_NEGOTIATION_REDWOOD_ENABLED)

Tips and considerations

• This ability is only available for RFQs and auctions that have purchase order outcomes. It's not displayed for negotiations already using blanket purchase agreement or contract purchase agreement outcomes.
• You can only change to a purchasing document outcome that shares the same purchase bases(quantity or amount) and line types with the original outcome.
