Locking or Retiring Questions or Sections in a New RFx Round 
Procedure
You can lock and retire questions and sections of an RFx in the wizard used to create a new round.
Locking questions and sections closes them so that suppliers cannot respond or change responses to them. However, locked questions and sections are assigned scores and do contribute to the response score and supplier rank. If a new supplier is invited to the new round, that supplier can respond to a locked question or section.
Retiring questions and sections removes them from the new round so suppliers do not see them. Retired questions and sections are not assigned value scores and do not contribute to the response score and supplier rank.
When you lock or retire a question or section, you must readjust the question weights within a section as well as readjust the section weight.
Note
If you lock or retire a section, all questions within that section are locked. However, when you restore a section, you must restore each question individually.
Locked or retired questions and sections can be restored during the cycle of the current round or any future rounds.
Note
You can also add, edit, lock, or retire questions on the Questions page. If you used the wizard to retire any weighted questions, you must adjust the section weights on the Questions page before you change the RFx phase to Open for Response.
