After publishing a negotiation, the buyer may need to update some of the information defined in the sourcing document. Such updates are called amendments. Once a document has been amended, you must review and acknowledge the amendments and place a new response.
To respond to a negotiation that was amended before your first response:
If the amendment was made prior to your first access, you will only be able to respond to the amended version.
Search for the negotiation.
Select the negotiation and click Respond.
