Reference: Strategic Sourcing Events Use Cases
- You have multiple supplier bidding rounds that you want to manage in one sourcing event.
- Within one event, you can provide feedback requesting that suppliers change questionnaire responses or provide lower bid prices.When the supplier must see different information at each stage, you can’t have multiple rounds of supplier bidding managed within 1 event. Workday recommends creating multiple events from 1 project so that supplier lists from a project carry over to the event.Similarly, you can only have 1 stakeholder evaluation per event. Once published, stakeholders can respond to all questions related to a supplier bid. Stakeholders can’t evaluate multiple rounds in a single event.
- You want to communicate additional RFx dates beyond the default three available in the timeline.
- The dates available in the RFx timeline trigger email notifications to the supplier, and you can’t edit or add to these emails. When you want to communicate additional key dates to suppliers, you can include those dates in the Description section of the event.
