General Settings - BQBOGN

Some of the configuration settings used by the Bid/Quote Management server are defined on the Bid/Quote (BQ) General Settings (BQBOGN) page. The BQ General Settings page identifies which seed value to use for new bidder registrations as well as how to handle new bidder registrations. Create one record for each entity and ledger that will be connecting to the server.

Entity: Choose the appropriate entity from the drop-down list, as defined in the BQ Entity Information (BQBOEN) page.
Ledger: Enter the actual ledger users will be signed into when the work with Bid Online (@@ does not apply here). Ledger codes are defined on the GL Ledger Information (GLUPGN) page.
New Bidder Status: When a bidder initially registers with the system, they will be assigned this status. If Workflow has been configured to approve new bidders, then choose NW as the new bidder status. If new bidders are not being approved, then choose AP.
Nucleus Seed: Enter the system seed that should be used for generating the Nucleus ID when a bidder registers. If you are creating a new seed, you must also define the corresponding SYNO/BIDDERID common code.

SYNO/BIDDERID Common Code

If a new seed is being used for the bidder's Nucleus ID, create a new record in the Nucleus (NU) Common Codes with a Category/Value of SYNO/BIDDERID. To define the format of the seed, enter an alpha prefix on the left side of the Associated Code (1) (first box) and the number of digits on the right side of code (1). The Nucleus Bidder ID is only used to link records on the Bid Online server, so the format is mostly irrelevant. Most important is that the format of the seed be different from other groups of Nucleus users on this server.
