Screen management

Entry screen

Entry is completed on a single screen. In this screen, a call for tender number must be entered or selected from a list. The reminder date is initialized automatically to the current date and it is modifiable.

All the suppliers asked to answer this call for tenders and who have not sent the totality of theis answers are listed in a grid. For each of these suppliers, the number of reminders already sent along with the date of the last reminders are specified.

By default, all the listed suppliers are considered to have been reminded at the entered date. Nevertheless it is possible to exclude one or several of these suppliers by entering the value No in the Processing code field regarding the supplier(s) concerned.

Validating the grid generates the updating of the number of reminders as well as of the date of the last reminder for all those suppliers whose processing code is set to Yes.
