Bid Include

This page is accessed via Sourcing > Bid Creation > Bid > Actions > Bid Include.

You can include a bid for consideration by the solver by using the Bid Include action to assign a status of BID_IN_INCLUDED.

Including a Bid

1. Select one or more bids.
2. Click Actions > Bid Include.
   
   The action runs without any other input from you.

The window will refresh and display the Bid Status Change Results page. This page lists the bid ID, action status (success or failure), original status (BID_IN_EXCLUDED) and new status (if action status is success then the new status is BID_IN_INCLUDED) for each bid selected.

Including Many Bids at Once

If you have a lot of bids (more than 1,000) or you want to include bids across carriers, you can run the action from the search page as follows:

1. Go to Sourcing > Bid Creation > Bid.
2. Enter the appropriate search criteria, such as Bid Round ID, on the finder page.
3. At the bottom of the page, click Actions > Bid Include.
   
   You see a results confirmation page stating the number of bids found.
4. On the results confirmation page, click OK to change the bid status.
