Manage negotiation templates

Redwood Platform

Manage supplier negotiation templates in the Redwood experience. From the Negotiation Templates search page you can review templates, as well as create, update, and activate draft templates using a guided process. In a draft negotiation template, you can maintain negotiation details, lines, pricing details, and collaboration or scoring team information when supported by the negotiation type, style, and outcome.

Create a template from an existing negotiation or RFQ by selecting Copy to Template from the Actions menu on the View Negotiation page. You can also duplicate an existing template to carry forward supported template details, retain attachments when needed in the new template without changing the original. Review and update copied or duplicated templates before activating them.

From the Sourcing page, select View More Actions, then select Manage Negotiation Templates to open the Negotiation Templates page.

Manage Negotiation Template

Manage negotiation templates

New and updated templates remain inactive until you activate them. Private templates are available to their owners and collaborators, while access to global templates depends on the user’s access to the applicable procurement business units. Changes to a copied or duplicated template don’t update the original negotiation or template. 

This new user experience provides a centralized way to create, manage, and reuse supplier negotiation templates. It helps category managers and buyers standardize negotiation setup, reduce manual effort, and prepare future negotiations more efficiently.
