Vendor List |
The Vendor List tab enables you to display and define vendors to whom you have sent or intend to send the bid. From this tab you can also access the Data -> Procurement -> Estimates screen, on which you can enter estimate information about the bid. You may also access that screen from the Procurement menu to manually define the estimate information.
Tip: You can use the filter to limit the display to specific bid IDs, IDs of users who requested bids, and/or bid status.
The field in the top section of this tab defines the data that displays.
Bid ID
Identifier of the bid currently selected in the grid or that you are defining. This field has a list box.
Data in the fields in the screen group in the tab section display and define each vendor. Unless otherwise indicated, these fields are optional.

Vendor ID
Identifier of the vendor. This field has a list box of vendors defined
on the Data -> Setup -> Organization

List) tab. If an estimate was already generated for the vendor
