What this guide covers, and what it deliberately does not
Covered here

Negotiation types, sourcing team access, supplier readiness, styles and templates, lines, requirements and response rules, timing and visibility, invitations, approvals, evaluation, award, and a full rehearsal.

Conditional: ask before you start

Auctions and proxy bidding. Sealed envelopes and two-stage events. Terms through Procurement Contracts. Exporting award results to other systems.

Owned by other teams

Legal clauses and the terms library (Legal). Supplier eligibility and portal accounts (Supplier Master and Supplier Portal guides).

Not covered yet

The sourcing operating model with role separation, post-award handover detail, and the event audit pack. Planned as this guide expands.

Your scope decisions turn conditional areas into required ones. Verify every task in your own instance and release; Oracle changes setup each quarter.
