      Review financials when awarding suppliers to a sourcing event.
      Note:
      The Review financials modal is displayed only if the sourcing event is associated with a pipeline project.

      The Annual hard savings field is auto-populated and displays the cumulative savings from all sourcing events associated with the pipeline project. This value is calculated by summing the Negotiated savings from all the selected purchase lines on the Award suppliers page.

      You can edit the Annual hard savings field if you’d like. If you edit the Annual hard savings field, a warning message appears indicating that the entered value differs from the cumulative negotiated savings on PRLs. This warning is shown only if there are negotiated savings on any PRL.

    9. Select Submit.

    Result

    The sourcing event is moved to Closed Complete, with the individual negotiations under it moved to Closed Decided or Closed Rejected based on your selection. The awarded sourcing requests are moved to Closed Complete, with purchase requisitions automatically created for the purchase lines. In addition, the spend and savings data is updated in the associated pipeline project.
