Strategic Sourcing components

Strategic Sourcing consists of two main components:

• Sourcing Buyer

  A buyer can create an event, evaluate supplier information and bids, and award an event to a supplier. This component can be used to report on the spending patterns through use of commodity codes and diversity codes.

  An administrator can access the buyer menu to perform maintenance and monitor and troubleshoot job queues.

• Supplier Portal web interface

  A registered supplier can use Supplier Portal to bid on an open event, control notification settings, and view their bid history.
