    Tender Management > Settings > General Settings

    Tender Management Settings

    The parameter form Tender Management Settings contains the tabs General, Risk Management and Tender Portals and can be accessed via the app Tender Management in the Settings area.

     

    Tab General 

    Field Description
    Name This is the name of the parameter record and will be defaulted automatically.
    Manual Set Counting Opportunity

    If there are several opportunities for the same tender, it might be that only one opportunity is the counting opportunity. This is for instance if the opportunities in the same tender are alternatives, like a road from asphalt or from concrete. Only one alternative will be executed and counts for the forecast of the revenues. In this case the setting should be "No".

    The other possibility is that all opportunities in the tender will be executed. In that case the parameter setting is "Yes".

    Tab Tender Portals

    Information from Tenders might be copied from Tender Portals. At the moment Dynamics Tender Management can be connected to the Portals TED Europa and TenderNed.

    Field Description
    Generate Opportunity Some data from the tender portal, like the Account fits to the Opportunity in stead of the Tender itself. That is why it is possible to generate an Opportunity automatically if the Tender is connected with the Portal. This will happen if this parameter is set to Yes only. The automatic generation of the Opportunity can take a few minutes. During that time it is possible to continue to work, but the Opportunity is not visible yet.
    TenderNet TenderNed is a Dutch Tender Portal.
    Active The connection is supported only if this parameter is set to Yes. If this parameter is set to No there is no connection with TenderNed.                  
    URL The URL of TenderNed.
    TED Europa TED Europa is a Tender Portal from the European Union. Tenders from many countries in- and outside the EU can be found here.
    Active The connection is supported only if this parameter is set to Yes. If this parameter is set to No there is no connection with TED Europe.
