📬 More Control Over Supplier Bid Emails
You now have the option to turn off non-initial bid emails (like bidsheet update notifications) to suppliers. This feature is available behind the scenes and must be enabled by CQ .
Why It’s Great
Minimize unnecessary supplier emails and streamline communication—especially helpful for managing high-volume or frequently updated bids. Reach out to your CQ contact to get this feature enabled.
📦 QuoteCQ: Bid by Line Card Groups -- Phase 1
You can now generate bids by selecting a single Line Card Group, allowing you to target specific supplier-manufacturer mappings with greater precision.
Why It’s Great
This gives you tighter control when generating bids—ensuring only the right suppliers are matched to each manufacturer based on your Line Card Group settings. No more manual filtering or supplier mismatches when quoting by region.
🔐 CPM Template Permissions Update
Users with the CPM Template Setup permission can now show or hide the Formula column when working in templates. Additionally, a new permission—CPM Edit Restricted—has been added to control admin-level access for managing templates.
Why It’s Great
