Features

The following tasks are available for scheduling in Web Auctions Administration:

●     Close Auctions

System searches for auctions which have reached their end date and changes their status to closed.

●     Publish Auctions

Publishes your scheduled auctions in the Web shop. The seller can set a publishing date for an auction, but it is dependent on the settings you make in this task. For more information on publishing auctions as a seller, see Auction Publishing for the Web Shop.

●     Update Winners

System searches for closed auctions flagged for automatic winner determination, determines the winner, and creates a purchase order for the auction in SAP CRM. The system fills in the winners details automatically in the purchase order. If there are no winners, the system changes the auction status to Closed without winner.

Activities
