Solved: PROPOSE botton in the Attributes option Bidding En...

Former Member · ‎05-15-2007

Hi all,

When a purchaser processes a bid invitation there is an option called Attributes.

When the purchaser click into the Attributes option there are several bottons activated: Propose, Create and Start Search.

Does anybody know the difference between PROPOSE and START SEARCH? If for example I select a Product Category and I press on Start Search several attributes are displayed. So, I don't understand the difference between these two buttons.

Thanks in advanced,

Mar

Hello Mar,

The main difference is that the

PROPOSE

take the information of product category from Basic Data tab in bid invitation, and with SEARCH
button you can assign any attribute to your document, finally with CREATE
button you can write your own attribute for this document.

In other words you can simplify to the purchaser work, Defining groups and Assigning Groups to Product Categories in configuration, when a bid invitation is created with product category, you can assign an attribute.
