About Strategic Sourcing components

Strategic Sourcing consists of two main components:

• Sourcing Buyer lets a buyer create an event, evaluate supplier information and bids, and award an event to a supplier. This component also lets a buyer report on the spending patterns through use of commodity codes and diversity codes.

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

• The Supplier Portal application uses a web interface that lets a registered supplier bid on an open event, control notification settings, and view their bid history.

See the Infor Lawson Supply Chain Management Applications, built with Landmark Installation Guide for more information on configuration requirements.
