Is it Possible to Distribute Awarded Offers Among Multiple Suppliers?

Yes. Tradogram is designed to support "split-awarding," where a single sourcing event (RFQ or RFP) results in multiple Purchase Orders or Contracts distributed across different vendors.

How to Create Multiple POs from One Request

With Tradogram’s built-in item allocation tools, you can easily split quantities and select specific line items for different vendors during the acceptance process.

Step-by-Step Workflow:

  1. Select the First Supplier: Navigate to your request, open the supplier's offer, and click "Accept & Create PO."
  1. Allocate Items & Quantities: In the acceptance popup, select only the line items you wish to award to this supplier and specify the exact quantities you are ordering.
  1. Generate the PO: Click to create the Purchase Order. Tradogram automatically generates a PO containing only the items and quantities selected for this vendor.
  2. Repeat for Additional Vendors: Navigate back to the same request and select the next supplier's offer.
  3. Automatic Balance Tracking: The system automatically calculates remaining item quantities (Total Quantity Requested − Total Quantity Ordered So Far) so you never accidentally over-order.
  1. Finalizing the Event: Once all items on the request have been fully ordered, a prompt will appear allowing you to cancel any remaining open quotes and send customizable notification emails to vendors who were not selected.
