Submit multi-product sourcing requests

Requesters can submit sourcing requests with multiple products in a single sourcing intake form. When a sourcing request form contains multiple products, the third-party sourcing solution automatically creates individual sourcing events for each product.

About this task

When a requester submits a sourcing intake form with multiple products, the third-party sourcing solution automatically:

  • Creates individual sourcing request for each product.
  • Maps each sourcing request to its own sourcing event.
  • Links all sourcing requests to a single purchase record.
  • Synchronizes data to the third-party tool, generating a separate Request for Quote (RFQ) for each sourcing request.
  • Updates third-party RFQ data, such as RFx ID, RFx status, and RFx URL, in the corresponding sourcing request and sourcing event.
