Create a Go to Market Request from a Procurement Plan

This help article explains how to use the Go to Market integration to create a market request based on an existing Procurement Plan and details the information that is automatically transferred. Use this process when you have completed your Procurement Plan and are ready to proceed with the solicitation phase.

Prerequisites

  • The Procurement Process must be set up to define the Market Approach (Public or Private) and the Supplier List Type (Internal, External, or Public).

  • The Supplier Discovery step in the Procurement Plan must be complete with the intended suppliers selected.

Steps

  1. Navigate to the Go to Market stage of your Procurement Plan.

Troubleshooting

  • Audit changes: If you need to audit any changes made after the request was pushed, return to the Procurement Plan. A new tab will appear at the Go to Market step displaying the details of the market request versus the original details pushed from the Procurement Plan.
