Bidding

Bidding is an Auction module. Generally, an Auction is a collection of offerings awarded to the highest bidder. The offering is the auction item. The module controls the general process and flow of how people will bid and automatically resolves the winning of auction items.

The auction item is what people bid on, what they win, and what is awarded to the winners.

Only employees who meet the appropriate scheduling rules and business criterion are eligible to bid on auction items such as assignment positions, vacation time, or special event positions.
