Supplier register for an RFX

[Former Member]

Dear all,

If an Restricted RFX is filled with a Supplier list, then if a new vendor is assigned to this supplier list, this vendor can see the RFX and register to it. Is it a way to restrict this functionality?

Thanks

a new vendor is assigned to this supplier list

Could you elaborate on the above statement? How did you do that? Did you "add bidder" to the RFx? If so, why wouldn't you want the new vendor to see and quote on the restricted RFx?

Hi Jay,

The steps of the process are the following:

1. Supplier List exists with vendors A, B, C

2. Purchaser generates an RFX to this supplier list.

3. Supplier List is updated with vendor D

4. Vendor D was not invited to the RFX, but if he enters to the Portal, he can register to the RFX to bid.

It is a reasonable functionality, but we want to limit it to have full control of what vendors can quote for each bid.

Thanks

IF I understand yr requirement correctly, you don't want vendor D to participate in Bidding.

Can you not use ...DOC_CHECK badi for RFX business doc to restrict the addition of vendor D in supplier list.

You are using the term RFx, so I am assuming the SRM version you are running is 7.0.

In this case, what you could do is to disable/hide the button "Register" for newly inserted bidder (without the button, the bidder won't be inserted to the invited bidder list of the RFx, hence not able to quote on it). This can be done via SPRO: SRM Server -> Extensions and Field Control -> Control Actions -> Display Standard Metadata Tables For Actions on Header Level. There you could find action "REGISTER" for object type BUS2200. You could create dynamic class/method of your own to control the button's visibility.
