Generating contract documents in a recurring contracting environment comprises receiving a contract renewal indication, generating a bid invitation having a plurality of offered terms and a plurality of requested terms in response to the renewal indication, receiving one of more bid responses, and generating a contract by incorporating information from a previous contract and one of the responsive bids.

摘要:
A purchase hub system for an enterprise may enable a purchasing agent to cluster bids from different enterprise buyer systems in the enterprise. The purchase hub system may receive purchasing requests including multiple requirements from the different enterprise buyer systems and suggest potential groupings of the requirements based on, e.g., item categories assigned to the requirements. The purchasing agent may then create a bid opportunity, e.g., a bid invitation or auction, including the clustered bids.
