SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Running a vendor evaluation requires building a questionnaire, preparing vendor-facing documents, inviting vendors, and publishing the event, which involves many error-prone steps across the Ramp CLI or MCP tools. This Skill guides an agent through the entire requester-side workflow so an RFI, RFP, or RFQ goes from idea to published event without missed steps or accidental sends. ## Core Features & Use Cases - RFX Creation and Editing: Build RFI, RFP, or RFQ questionnaires as sections of typed fields (text, select, date, file upload, and more), then refine drafts with full-section edits. - Vendor-Facing Sheets: Set a cover sheet introduction and enable a pricing sheet with user-approved content and uploaded attachments referenced by ramp_document_id. - Vendor Invitation and Publishing: Resolve vendors to payee_uuid values, manage invitations and collaborators, preflight the RFX, confirm exact recipients, and publish. - Use Case: A procurement lead asks the agent to run an RFP for expense management software; the Skill drafts the questionnaire, attaches the pricing template, invites three vendors, and publishes after the user confirms the recipient list. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to create and publish an RFP for a vendor evaluation, providing the questionnaire topics, deadlines, and vendor names to invite.

Frequently Asked Questions about ramp-run-sourcing-event

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an RFP in Ramp from the CLI?

Use ramp sourcing create with a JSON body containing the name, rfx_type of RFP, close_date, response_submission_deadline, and sections of typed fields. Omit sourcing_event_id so the parent event is created in the same call, and confirm the type, name, and deadlines with the user first.

What is the difference between RFI, RFP, and RFQ in Ramp sourcing?

An RFI gathers capabilities or market information while requirements are still forming, an RFP compares proposed approaches for a scoped need, and an RFQ compares pricing and commercial terms for a well-defined need. The rfx_type field accepts RFI, RFP, or RFQ and defaults to RFP.

Can I edit a published RFP questionnaire in Ramp?

No, ramp sourcing edit only works while the RFX status is DRAFT, and questionnaire changes cannot be sent to vendors after publishing. If changes are needed, create a new sourcing event with a corrected RFX and confirm before closing the old event.

Why does publishing a Ramp sourcing event fail?

Publishing is denied when required dates are missing, draft invitations lack vendor contacts, or the active invitation count is outside the 1 to 10 range. Check available_actions in the rfx detail response, fix the stated blocker, and preflight again before publishing.

How do I attach files to a Ramp sourcing cover sheet?

Upload each file with ramp sourcing upload, which returns a ramp_document_id, then reference those IDs in the cover-sheet or pricing-sheet JSON body. Supported formats include PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PNG, and JPEG, with at most 20 attachments per sheet and 50 MB per file.

What are the limitations of running sourcing events through the Ramp CLI?

The CLI cannot set estimated amounts, conditional question visibility, NDA templates, post-publish due-date changes, or add a second RFX to an existing event. Vendor-side actions like RSVP, NDA signing, and response submission must happen in the vendor portal.
