You can extend an negotiation beyond its scheduled close date and time only if you set your response controls to allow manual extension. You cannot manually extend your negotiation after it has closed. Additionally, you cannot extend an auction after its first AutoExtension has been triggered.
To manually extend your negotiation:
Under the Your Negotiations at a Glance section on the Negotiations Home page, click the negotiation number for the negotiation you wish to extend. If your negotiation is not displayed, click Full List.
On the negotiation summary page, select the Extend RFQ/Extend Auction option from the Actions menu and click Go.
On the ExtendRFQ/Extend Auction page, specify a new close date and time. You can also enable AutoExtend or modify your AutoExtend settings if you wish.
Click Apply .
Enter a new close date and time. Click Apply.
A notification will be sent to all participants.
If, when creating this negotiation, you entered an award date, need-by date, and/or long-term agreement dates, these dates will also be extended by the same number of days that you extend your negotiation if the dates are scheduled to occur before your extended close date. For example, if your negotiation includes a January 15 close date and a January 20 award date, and you extend that auction for 7 days, your new close date is January 22, and your new award date is January 27. However, if you extend that auction for only 3 days, your new close date is January 18, and your award date remains January 20.
