    About this task

    The sourcing event that you plan to work on, and all its associated negotiations, sourcing requests, and purchase lines must be in the Requires Decision state. When negotiations are complete for a sourcing event, you can award one or more suppliers. Awarding suppliers creates purchase requisitions for the selected suppliers and items.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to Source-to-Pay Workspace.
    2. Select the list icon (List icon.) and do one of the following:
      • Navigate to Lists > My work > Sourcing events.
      • Navigate to Lists > All work > Sourcing events.
    3. Open the sourcing event that is in the Requires Decision state.
      Award multiple suppliers option for a sourcing event.
    4. Select Award.
      The Award to supplier dialog box is displayed.
    5. In the Supplier field, select a supplier, and then select Next.

      Select a supplier.

    6. Enter the spend and savings data in the Final spend, Cost avoidance, Lost savings, and Other savings fields.
      Enter spend and savings data for the pipeline project.
      Note:
      The Review financials modal is displayed only if the sourcing event is associated with a pipeline project.

      The 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 closed purchase requisition lines (PRLs) within the sourcing events.

      You can edit the Hard savings field if you’d like. If you edit the 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.

    7. 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 request is 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.
