Reopen line items

If you have partially awarded a request for quote event, you can reopen the event and resend any line items that have not been awarded to buyers for responses. This allows you to extend the event dates and receive responses for the remaining line items. Remaining line items on an event can only be reopened once. Any awarded line items will not be impacted.
