SAP Ariba can review your event for structure, format, and best practices before submitting it to suppliers.
Publishing your event sends a notification to your suppliers and, depending on settings and timing, allow them to respond and ask questions.
View Responses in Real Time: If allowed by event rules, you can review supplier responses as they are submitted.
Message Board: Suppliers may be asking questions via the integrated message board. Be sure to provide timely answers to the supplier asking the question and, when appropriate, to all participants.
Award Optimization: Use the optimization tool to help analyze complex bids by setting goals and rules.
Manual Scenarios: If you want to determine the award without using the optimization tool, you can create a manual scenario to capture the award information
Completing Your Event: Submitting your award will complete the event, locking it from further changes. Be careful to review the award closely before you submit.
Event Header Data: The event creation screen is customizable, allowing companies to capture unique, useful information for searching and reporting
