Help Home/Creating Negotiations
A sourcing event is group of related negotiations. You may want to create a sourcing event if you need to monitor several related negotiations as a group rather than individually. You may also want to create an event if you want to encourage respondents to participate in multiple, similar negotiations .
To use events, you first create an event. Once the event is created, you can associate negotiations with the event while creating the negotiation on the Create Header page. You can continue to associate negotiations with the event until the event's inactive date is reached.
Click "Event" under the Create area of Quick Links on the Negotiations Home page.
On the Create Event page, enter a title, description, and an inactive date. Your event is opened as soon as it is created. You can then start associating negotiations with it. You can continue associating negotiations with the event until its inactive date is reached .
Click OK. This takes you to the Manage Events page.
Clicking OK on the Create Event page, or "Events" from the Manage area of Quick Links on the Negotiations Home page takes you to the Manage Events page.
To see event details, click the event number link.
To see the negotiations associated with the event, select the event and click "View Negotiations." Note that any draft negotiations associated with this event are not shown.
To cancel an event, click Cancel. You have the choice of canceling only the event or canceling the event and all negotiations associated with it as well.
To modify an event's information click Edit. On the Edit Event page, you can modify the description and inactive date. Note that you can move the inactive date forward in time to extend an event. You can also move an inactive date backward although not prior to the current date/time.
