Also, include the desired quantity and the approximate price the buyer believes the line should cost. This allows buyers and suppliers to accurately depict what the quantity and pricing is for each desired good or service.  \nWhen agencies need to create an event with a large number of lines, SWIFT has a process that allows buyers to use a spreadsheet to load those lines into a new SWIFT event. Suppliers can use this same process to bid on each event line.  \nThis process requires uploading a standard delimited file, which is similar to a spreadsheet.  \n• Each column title must remain “as is.”  \n• You cannot change the column titles, field sizes or data types, or rearrange the column order on the template used to upload the data into the event lines.  \n• IMPORTANT! The key to this upload is to do a “Save as” on the sheet as a tab delimited file.txt.  \nBelow is an example of the delimited file for uploading lines to an event. The required fields are marked with Required Field and marked in yellow.  \nThis quick reference guide provides the basic steps to create an event by uploading a delimited file.  \nStep 1: Access the Event Summary page  \n1. Navigate to the Add a New Value page.  \n\n| Navigation Options | Navigation Path |\n| --- | --- |\n| Navigation Collection | Procurement, Strategic Sourcing, Create Event. The Add a New Value page defaults. |\n\n2. On the Add a New Value page, enter the following information and press the Add button.  \n• Business Unit  \n• Origin  \n• Event Format: Buy  \n• Event Type: RFx  \nStep 2: Enter information on the header of the Event Summary page  \nSWIFT displays the Event Summary page. Enter the following information on the header.  \n• Procurement Type is a required field.  \n• Enter information in the Event Name, Description, Preview Date, Start Date and End Date.  \nStep 3: Upload the delimited file to add the lines  \n1. Fill in the fields on the delimited file template with the line information you wish to copy into the new event. Required fields in the template are highlighted in yellow below. The other fields are optional. You can find the Sample Delimited File for Copying Lines in the Strategic Sourcing Quick Reference Guides webpage.  \n2. IMPORTANT! Save the file as a file type of .txt (Tab delimited) and make it available on your desktop. The file type must be .txt in order to load into the event.  \n3. In the header, open the Copy dropdown menu and select “Delimited File.” Then, press the Go button.  \n4. SWIFT displays the Enter Copy Criteria page in a separate window.  \na. On the Select Criteria section, choose a Copy Method.  \n• Append: Add the line information from the template to existing lines of the event.  \n• Override: Replace any existing lines with information from the template.  \nb. Press the Select File button.  \n5. SWIFT opens up the Select File for Import window. Press the Choose File button.  \n6. SWIFT opens up your desktop.  \na. Choose the completed, delimited file to upload on the File Name section.  \nb. Press Open.  \n7. SWIFT returns you to the Select File for Import window. You can see your delimited file on it. Press the Upload button.  \n8. SWIFT returns you to the Enter Copy Criteria page. Review these fields.  \n• File Type: “Items.”  \n• File Includes Header Row: Check the box if your file has a header row.  \n• Error Options: “Ignore Errors.”  \n• Display Import Error Messages: Check the box.  \n• Delimiter Type: “Tab.”  \n• Consolidate Identical Items: Leave the box unchecked.  \n• Category Code: Leave it blank unless you want to change what is in the delimited file.  \n• Quantity: Leave it blank unless you want to change what is in the delimited file.  \n• UOM: Leave it blank unless you want to change what is in the delimited file.  \nPress the Searc","cbCairjlyPzN0J2J","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairjlyPzN0J2J","pdf",315947,6,"English","# Step 1: Access the Event Summary page\n## Step 2: Enter information on the header of the Event Summary page\n## Step 3: Upload the delimited file to add the lines\n# Step 4: Complete the remaining sections on the event","[{\"question\":\"What information must each event line include in SWIFT Strategic Sourcing?\",\"answer\":\"Each event line should identify the specific good or service, include the desired quantity, and provide the approximate price the buyer expects for that line.\"},{\"question\":\"What requirements apply to the delimited file template when uploading event lines?\",\"answer\":\"Column titles must remain exactly as-is, and you cannot change column titles, field sizes, data types, or reorder columns.
