OPT-1146

Feature Description

This feature enables buyers to:

- extend the number of suppliers that they can invite to a large-capacity sourcing event to a maximum of 700.

- use the search functionality to easily find suppliers and supplier responses in sourcing events.

- export large-capacity sourcing events to an Excel file in the XLSX format when the number of suppliers in the sourcing event is more than 125.

Customer Problem

Currently, customers are unable to invite more than 125 suppliers in a sourcing event. This prevents them from running the required large-capacity events within global public sector entities.

Customer Value Proposition

Customers are now able to invite up to 700 suppliers. This unlocks key capabilities when buyers are running large-capacity events.
