Bid History Workflow States

The Bid History document can have several states in Proliance. Each state indicates where the document is in its life cycle in Proliance. When you perform workflow actions on the document, the state of the document changes accordingly.

  State Description

The bid history document has been submitted for review and activation. It can also indicate that a user is attempting to reactivate an inactive bid history document.
