After publishing a negotiation, the buyer can update information defined in the document if required. This update is called an amendment. All suppliers are notified that the sourcing document has been changed and are required to view and acknowledge the changes. They must also review their previous response and resubmit it in accordance with the amendment if they wish to continue participating. Amendments can be created anytime after the preview date/time or open date/time , if no preview date/time was specified, and also after the close date/time.
You can create an amendment at any time after approval of a solicitation. You can also create an amendment after the solicitation is closed. When you create an amendment, the application automatically displays all the details from the confirmed solicitation. You can change line items using an amendment, or cancel a solicitation using an amendment.
Use the View Amendment History page to query for Conformed Amendments. Search for Draft and Approved Amendments using the Manage Drafts Search Page. Drafts/Approved Amendments also appear in the Buyer Home Page under the Draft section.
The information that the View Amendment History page displays is dependent on the status of the current negotiation document. The information that displays for Created and Conformed Amendments includes the Amendment Number, Status, Effective Date, Signed Date, Review Changes, Cancellation, and a Create Amendment button. For amendments that are created but not submitted for approval, the Amendment History page additionally displays an Update icon that you can use to update the amendment. The Create Amendment button does not display here. For amendments that are created and approved, the status displays Approved.
Once you have completed amending your document, you can generate a description with the details of the amendment.
