Copying a Sourcing Document

Help Home/Creating Negotiations

You can copy sourcing documents that you or any other users in your organization have created. You can copy an existing document to create a new document of the same type (RFI, RFQ, or auction).

To copy an existing negotiation:

  1. Click "Copy" under the Create section of Quick Links on the Negotiations Home page .

  2. Search for the negotiation you want to copy. You can click the negotiation number to see details about the negotiation.

  3. Once you have found the negotiation you are interested in, click the Copy icon at the right of the page.

  4. On the Copy page, you have the option of changing the document type or style. You can also retain any original attachments. If you are using Oracle Procurement Contracts and have clauses associated with the original document, you can retain the old clauses or have the system search for any new clauses.

  5. Click Apply. A new document is created and you are placed on the Create Header page for this document.

  6. Edit your new negotiation by continuing through the creation steps.

  7. Note that you will have to specify new Open Date and Close Date values

  8. When you have finished creating your new negotiation, click Review. Verify your negotiation information, then click Submit for Approval if approvers are specified for this negotiation, otherwise click Publish to open it for responding . If this is a very large negotiation, a concurrent program will be initiated to create the new copy. You can monitor the progress of this job from the Manage Draft Negotiations page.
