Versioning

Analogous to requests, auctions can also be versioned .

An auction can only be versioned with the status Published, Auction Paused, and Finished.

A new version is created via Action, New version.

The new version is created and the status of the auction is set to In process.

The Reason for New Version field is displayed as a required field and must be filled in to indicate to suppliers why the auction has been versioned. Meanwhile, the supplier is informed that a versioning process is currently in progress and that the auction is not editable.

The status of the auction on the supplier side is also adjusted.

When the versioned auction is published, the supplier receives an email regarding the versioning and the reason is displayed on the supplier side in the auction.

The supplier must confirm or cancel the participation again for the new version , in case of acceptance the auction is editable with version 2.
