Objective
After completing this lesson, you will be able to Explain Sourcing Project Creation Steps within SAP Ariba Sourcing.
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
