Handling Late Quotations

RFQs contain due dates. If a supplier does not respond with a quotation by the due date, you can use the property in this section to determine how ENOVIA Sourcing Central deals with that quotation.

Skip any of the steps if you do not want to make that change.

  1. Open the emxSourcing.properties file for editing.

  2. Locate this line: 

    emxSourcing.RTSResponseCompletedProcess=suspend

  3. Set the value for this property depending on your business requirements:


    • suspend. The quotation is suspended. Buyers cannot view them and suppliers cannot edit them.
    • return. Promote the quotation to the Returned state. Buyers and suppliers can view quotation details, but the supplier cannot edit the quotation.

  4. Locate this line: 

    emxSourcing.ShowSuspendedQuotation = true

    If you set the RTSResponseCompletedProcess property to suspend, you can use this property to allow suppliers to view the quotation by searching for it (the quotation does not display in the supplier's Quotation list).

  5. Set the value for this property depending on your business requirements:


    • true. Suppliers can search for suspended quotations and view them.
    • false. Suppliers cannot search for suspended quotations and cannot view them.

  6. If needed, continue editing the emxSourcing.properties file. If finished, save the file.

  7. When finished making all properties file edits, restart the application server. If using a J2EE implementation, run the warutil and deploy files as usual.
