• Key Concepts: 
  Inactivity period is a feature of the LOD-ESO Sourcing OnDemand component of SAP. It is a period of time during which no activity is allowed on a sourcing event. This period begins when the event is created and ends when the event is closed. During this time, no changes can be made to the event, including adding or removing participants, changing the event parameters, or making any other changes. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The inactivity period can be set by the user when creating a sourcing event. The user can choose a specific length of time for the inactivity period, or they can choose to have no inactivity period at all. If an inactivity period is set, then no changes can be made to the event until the inactivity period has ended. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to remember that once an inactivity period has been set, it cannot be changed. Therefore, it is important to choose an appropriate length of time for the inactivity period that will allow enough time for all necessary changes to be made before the event closes. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The inactivity period feature of LOD-ESO Sourcing OnDemand is designed to ensure that all participants have enough time to make any necessary changes before the event closes. It also helps to ensure that all participants are aware of any changes that have been made and that all participants are on the same page when it comes to the event parameters.
