To create a new event, follow the below steps.
+ Create New Event
Go to "My Events" page from the Hamburger menu on the upper-left corner and click on "+ Create New Event"
A pop up window will be displayed. Click on "Create Full Source Event" to create a new RFI, RFP, RFQ or eAuction.
On the horizontal bar menu at the top of the screen click on "+ Create New" > Sourcing Event > iSource
When creating a Full Source Event, you should chose between 3 types of Event:
> To start from blank
> To use a template uploaded for all Solvay buyers to use (e.g. RFI General Template, Scoring SDC...)
> To re-use the draft of any event already published in the platform (e.g. quaterly tender...)
Mandatory Fields
When creating the draft of your tender, on the Document Information page, there are some mandatory fields to be filled in.
The below steps are common to all type of event creation.
- You must give a Title to your event (e.g. 2018 RM P297 > Solvay Specialty Polymers Tail-end Spend Q2)
- An event type has to be selected accordingly to the tender to be launched
- Fill in the different Axis (using the drop down menu or by moving from one tab to another with the tab key from your keyboard and typing in the data)
When working "From Template" or from "Copy from Existing", it will allow you to use the event structure of an event already existing in the system. You will be able to modify and amend it as per your requirements. This will also copy the existing scoresheet grid.
The events are classified by event type so to find the appropriate one you first need to select "Event Type", to trigger the list of available tenders you can choose from. The list will be displayed at the bottom of the page & you can filter it to ease the navigation.
Once you have selected the correct Event, "Save and Continue" at the bottom of the Page to start creating your draft.
