Participant and member groups

They may be associated with a specific company, location, or requisition location. You can define as many participants as you want for a particular contract.

Participant groups specify who can use the contract or vendor agreement created from an event. When you set up a participant group, you can add an event participant based on their assigned group, instead of individually. For events, participant groups are only used when awarding agreement-type event lines.

After you set up participant groups, you can also specify a company location or department to include in the participant group. If your company uses dimensions in Global Ledger, then you can assign a company location, or requesting location to include the dimension in the participant group. If your company has dimensions that are not in Global Ledger, then assign a contract department to include in the participant group.

If you tie one location to a contract, then the contract can be used only by that location. Otherwise, if you assign no participants to a contract, it can be used by anyone.
