Regardless of event type, all SAP Ariba events will go through the various statuses listed, in order. The initial project creation drafts a project that will require header fields and a template selection. After the create button is selected, the project owner will complete all of the rules, participants, content, team, and summary tabs to publish the event. If the event is scheduled to start in the future, it will remain in preview, and when the start time arrives, the event will open, Once the event closes, it moves to pending selection until the project owner decides the next steps, by award, or by completing the project.
