Required/Conditionally
Required FieldsThe Vendor List tab of the Solicitation transaction allows a buyer to specify vendors that they want to receive notice of the solicitation. Buyers can designate the final vendor list as restricted, limiting responses to selected vendors only, by selecting the Vendor List Restricted Responses check box on the Header. Buyers can limit notifications to only vendors on the Vendor List tab by selecting the Only Notify Vendor List check box on the Publishing tab.
If the Solicitation Vendor List Response Required parameter on Application Parameters is set to Yes, Evaluation transactions cannot be submitted to Final until all vendors on the Vendor List tab have submitted a Solicitation Response transaction. The Solicitation Response Automation Generation (SRAG) page allows you to quickly generate the Solicitation Response transactions.
Vendors can be added to this tab by selecting a Vendor from the Vendor/Customer pick list. You can only choose a Vendor/Customer Code that is Active. A vendor can also be added from a Vendor List Template on the Header, added on the Free Form Vendor tab, or added by vendor rotation. Vendors added to the Vendor List through Random Vendor Selection may not be deleted from the Vendor List. However, you may select a new Address ID associated with the Vendor Code or a new Contact ID associated with the Address ID.
