BOM-structured RFx in manufacturiong industry

[former_member420081]

Hi,

Do you have the reference of Bidding Engine for direct material sourcing?

Especially in Automotive industry, there seems to be the case RFx has BOM-structured lines of assy.

In SRM Bidding Engine, we can use the "outline" function, but I have never heard this function is used in direct material sourcing in manufacturing industry.

If you have any idea to handle BOM-structured RFx, please share it.

Hi Tadasuke,

Outlining functionality is useful if you want to source a set of products from a single supplier. In this case you can bundle all the items into one lot called as outline and create a bid invitation for that.

But, for bidding for matrials in a BOM, SAP xApp Cost & Quote management is more suitable. You can find information on xCQM at https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/xapps
