  Key Concepts: 
  A ban in SAP SRM-LA Live Auction is a feature that allows buyers to block certain suppliers from participating in an auction. This feature is useful for buyers who want to ensure that only certain suppliers are allowed to bid on their auctions. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the ban feature, buyers must first create a list of suppliers they want to block from participating in the auction. Once the list is created, buyers can then select the “Ban” option when creating an auction. This will prevent any of the suppliers on the list from participating in the auction.
