SAP Ariba Readiness Feature Preview - Update the RFQ status of closed postings to Terminated

Allow the buyer to abandon an RFQ (After a posting is closed for bids) for lack of trust in bids or simply do not want to move forward with the event, award and subsequent purchase order. Moving to terminated status removes the RFQ from the buyer queue.  The sequence of events are below:

* Buyer issues an RFQ
* Buyer receives bids and closes the event in Discovery
* Buyer later decides to abandon the RFQ
* Buyer cancels the RFQ in the ERP and the system sends the cXML with type=delete
* The system moves the RFQ status from closed to terminated in Discovery
* The system sends a 'Cancel' email to the supplier

The email will mimic the closed email but the text will say - The buyer has canceled the event and will not be moving forward with this request.
