For Sourcing RFQ,Does supplier has the applicability to submit multiple valid bids simultaneously?

On Oracle E-Business Suite / R12.1.3 / Sourcing Module

Case;

1- new sourcing RFQ has been created with option "Suppliers are allowed to provide multiple responses" set to "Yes".

2- Supplier X submitted a newly created response with reference number BID-1.

3- Supplier X submitted another response with reference number BID-2.

System Behavior;

- Earlier response (BID-1) marked as (ARCHIVED), hence it is not available during Technical / Financial evaluation processes.

- Only response (BID-2) marked as (ACTIVE) and valid for evaluation.

As Enterprise Requirement (By Law)

Suppliers has the applicability to submit multiple responses (Bids), all of them are valid for technical & financial evaluation simultaneously.
