SS-24994
This feature allows suppliers to add additional items than what the buyer has defined, to primary and alternative bids in a guided sourcing event, or only to alternative bids. Buyers can optionally allow suppliers to submit attachments that describe lots and child items.
Alternative bids are not supported in guided sourcing yet which poses a gap in parity between the old UX and guided sourcing.
New UX with alternative bids in guided sourcing will offer customers a better experience and improve productivity with intelligent functionality.

This feature is supported in the classic SAP Ariba Sourcing user interface and the guided sourcing user interface.
Suppliers can't modify bid content when the event is in Draft state.
Suppliers can't delete an item that they have submitted a bid for.
Supplier-added lots always display the extended price of the lot and bids are awarded at the lot level. Child items that are defined in read-only attachments are not enumerated.
Buyers must create Supplier Line Item and Supplier Item with Child Items or Service Hierarchy definition prototypes. If the Supplier Line Item prototype does not exist in the event template, supplier-added items use buyer-added line item definitions. If the Supplier Item with Child Items or Service Hierarchy prototype does not exist in the event template, suppliers are restricted from setting the Is this a group of items or services option to Yes, which is required for creating supplier-added lots.
