## Understanding the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Operational Sourcing Portal

The Sourcing Portal (P43Q01) is an application created in form design aid (FDA) using the portlet form type. The Sourcing Portal enables you to provide online access to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Operational Sourcing system for buyers and bidders. The page for buyers displays both the Event Workbench program (P43Q70) and the Bidder Workbench program (P43Q40). The page for bidders displays the Bidder Workbench and the RFx Bidder Registration (P43Q91) programs.

You can also use the Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) portlet with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Operational Sourcing. The SRM portlet contains alerts for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Operational Sourcing that you can configure to display events at each status. For example, you can set up an alert for the buyer that displays all events that are at a status of Accepted. When a buyer clicks on an alert link, the system accesses either the Event Workbench program or the Bidder Workbench program, depending on the type of alert. When a bidder clicks on an alert link, the system accesses the Bidder Workbench program.
