Reviewing and Publishing a Negotiation

Help Home

Once you have defined your negotiation, you have the opportunity to review all information prior to submitting it for approval or publishing it.

The Create Negotiation: Review page provides you access to all the information you defined to your negotiation. You can review and modify this information if necessary. You can view and modify

To view a particular set of information, click the tab for that section. To update information in a section, click Update.

You can print a hardcopy version of the entire negotiation (buyer version) or a supplier version, which does not contain internal details (for example, a target line price if not displayed to suppliers). You can also print a supplier-specific version that contains only details appropriate for that supplier. To print a copy of the negotiation, select the appropriate version from the Actions menu. You can save a .pdf copy or print the .pdf file directly.

Once you have reviewed your document and ensured that it complete and correct, you can submit it.

Large and Very Large Negotiation

If your negotiation is very large, a concurrent program is started to publish the information. While the negotiation is being published, you cannot edit it.

You can view the progress of the publishing program from the

Manage Draft Negotiations page. If errors occurred, a link from the Status column displays a page containing information on the errors that happened. After correcting the errors, you can resubmit the document.

If the publication process completes after the open date/time, the negotiation is opened and the time is not adjusted. If the publication process completes after the close date/time, the negotiation is never opened at all.
