Hello everybody,

I'm working with SRM 50. I have a question for you. Is it possible to have more than one winner for a bid invitation??.

For example, a buyer publishes a bid invitacion and two vendors submit their bids. For the buyer both vendors are good, so he wants to accept both bids, he wants to contract both vendors. Can be two contracts msde for one bid invitation?? (50% for one vendor and 50% for the other)

Thanks

Hi Ivan

yes you can, but you can not change the supplier quantity from the bids.

In SRM5.0, you have a new transaction to maintain Quotas Arrangements. Here you can set 50% for one vendor and 50% for the other, for the contracts you have created from their bids.

Hi Ivan,

Just launch web transaction "Process Quotas Arrangements" )) (bbpqamaint)

It should be in the purchaser menu, under "Sourcing" sub folder.
