Close Bids Page

Use this page to close bids. Closing a bid has the following effects:

• Releases any outstanding pre-encumbrance amounts.

• Changes the bid's status to Closed.

• Prevents any activity from being entered against the bid, including converting it to a purchase order.

• Allows you to purge the bid from your database.

While you can no longer add requests to a closed bid, you can copy the bid and its commodities to create a new bid in the Bid Catalog.
