Overview:
This article will provide steps how to revise a bid in the Bid Entry Management Dashboard (BEM) in GDE in Xvantage for Associates (X4A).
Process:
Go to My Apps and open Okta.
In Okta, search for X4A and open it.
Within X4A, hover over the left navigation menu Revenue and click GDE deals & discounts or Navigate to GDE by using the standalone link: gds.ingrammicro.com.
If using the standalone link, from the homepage, choose Bid Entry Management.
When COG/VDD users access the dashboard they will see bids awaiting action on the Bid Queue. By default Bid Entries will be sorted as FIFO (First In First Out). Use the filtering options to sort through and find the Bid Entry you want to open.
Click on Req ID to open the bid request form for that entry.
Click on Assign to me to review and act on the request.
Click Revise Request on the top right.
Note: Sales and COG/VDD users can revise previously approved bids by opening the bid in question.
BEM will create a new editable version of this Bid, most fields will be adjustable in this new bid, except for Vendor and Vendor Program. To maintain compliance, you will be required to upload a new document to the Bid Request before submitting for review.
Once you have edited and submit your Bid request, it will go back into the Bid Queue to wait for COG/VDD approval following the normal procedures for new bid requests.
