Bundle events

Bundle events

If request for quote events contain line items in the same category, it may be beneficial to bundle the events into a single event before you send them to suppliers. Bundling events can result in greater savings on larger quantities of items or services and create attractive and efficient events for suppliers. You can bundle up to 150 line items into a single event and can include any events you have access to in your organization, regardless of assignment. A blue Bundled label is added to the bundled events, and if you hover over the label you can view the original RFQ IDs that were bundled into the new event; you can also use the event log to view a list of events included in a bundle.

Important: Contact your Fairmarkit Customer Success Representative if you are interested in using bundling. Bundling may not be enabled by default. If you have an integration that sends data back to your purchasing application, make sure to mention it in your discussion.

Note: For events to be eligible to be bundled, they must be in the same currency and shipped to the same country. Additionally, shipping addresses cannot be a combination of mailing addresses and PO boxes.
