BidNet Direct Buyer - Approval Workflows

What is an Approval Workflow?

Approval Workflows support approval processes for all items that buying organizations share with vendors, including bid distribution, addendums and award result documents.

Additionally, custom approval steps based on type of solicitation, value of bid, user identity or other criteria can be implemented as needed.

In an Approval Workflow, the process halts until a specific person or group approves the task in question. An Approval Workflow can have multiple levels of approval.

Approval Workflows can be incorporated at various stages of the process but ultimately, they all function the same way.

How do I approve a solicitation?

To approve a solicitation, click My Required Actions then click the blue arrow (Execute Task) for the appropriate solicitation. This will take you to the Preview tab. When you have reviewed the solicitation, click Approve or Reject at the top right.
