    • Sourcing Pipeline Management (sn_spend_pipeline) provides a centralized framework for creating, tracking, and executing sourcing initiatives through pipeline projects. It enhances efficiency through automated workflows, improves visibility into project progress, and simplifies savings tracking and forecasting.

    Sourcing Managers gain access to a unified pipeline project workspace that consolidates sourcing events, negotiations, and contract management. Each pipeline project includes dedicated tabs for these components, along with UI actions to initiate them directly. All related work, including sourcing requests, is consolidated within the pipeline, providing complete, end-to-end visibility into sourcing activities.
    Important :
    Check your entitlements to determine whether you have access to Sourcing Pipeline Management.

    With the pipeline_management_admin role, you can configure the Pipeline project creation rule decision table to automate the creation of pipeline projects. The default pipeline project creation rule automatically creates a pipeline project when the total price of the products being sourced exceeds $250,000. When a sourcing intake request is submitted, a pipeline project is automatically created in the Draft state when the rule conditions are met. The pipeline project is associated with the sourcing request.
