Bid Group Setup

Bid Groups are used in Inventory to group items together for bid processing and reports.

The Bid Analysis routine uses Bid Groups to determine which items go together on a bid. In most cases, all the items in a bid group are purchased from the same Distributor but that is not a requirement.

You can skip this setup if you do not use Bid Groups or Bid Analysis.
