Symptom

Request For Quotation In Revision Status Cannot Be Proceeded Since The Send To Bidders Button Is Greyed Out.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Sourcing and Contracting work center.
  2. Go to Requests for Quotation view.
  3. Search for the affected RFQ which is in revision.
  4. Open it and find the buttons like Send to Bidders, Cancel RFQ, Close RFQ are all greyed out.
  5. You don't know how to proceed this RFQ further.

Cause

There are two errors on the RFQ:

- Delivery date must not be before submission deadline.

- Submission deadline must not be in the past.

Resolution

You need to adjust the delivery date on item level as well as the submission deadline, to make sure delivery date is after submission deadline, and the submission deadline is on a future date. Then you will be able to send this RFQ to bidders to retrigger the approval.
