SS-14250

This feature adds multiple sourcing event rules, allowing suppliers to add bid content to primary and alternative bids, or only alternative bids. The feature also provides the option for suppliers to define child items or service hierarchies through read-only attachments.

Buyers create events with Service Items added based on their knowledge or requirements. There were instances where suppliers were not able to provide bids with the same service items or hierarchies and they required to make changes to the specification from the buyer. In some other cases, suppliers needed to include some essential items to complete the work but missed out by the buyer. None of those adjustments to the buyer-provided information were possible, making it cumbersome to manage those situations and preventing from capturing valuable proposals.

Now, suppliers have more flexibility in submitting their alternative bids on Service Items. During bidding, suppliers are able to propose a new different service hierarchy from the event content created by buyer. This additional flexibility offers more opportunities for spend optimization to Buyers and Suppliers in Service events.
