This feature enables buyers to:
- extend the number of suppliers that they can invite to a sourcing event to a maximum of 700.
- use the search functionality to easily find suppliers and supplier responses in sourcing events.
- export sourcing events to an Excel file in the XLSX format when the number of suppliers in the sourcing event is more than 100.
Buyers were unable to utilize the MS Excel standard format for exporting sourcing event information when dealing with more than 100 suppliers.
Buyers are now able to invite up to 700 suppliers.
