# Tenders
> Manage new, change, and cancellation tenders on the Alvys Tenders Board, accepting or rejecting via EDI and reviewing load changes in one screen.
## Overview
Learn how to efficiently manage and respond to **new**, **change**, and **cancellation** tenders using the Alvys Tenders Board. Accept or reject tenders, view detailed load changes, and communicate with shippers via EDI—all from one screen.
## Accepting or Rejecting New Tenders
Manage incoming **Original** tenders directly from the **Tenders** board.
### Accept a New Tender
On the Tenders Board, find a tender with type **Original** and status **New**. Click \*\*Accept \*\*and select the companies and fleet in the modal that appears:
Click **Accept** again to finalize, which will create a load automatically and notify the shipper via EDI.
### Reject a New Tender
On the Tenders Board, click the **Reject** link on the tender row that you’d like to reject. In the modal that appears choose a rejection reason and click Reject to confirm and send the rejection and reason to the shipper via EDI.
## Handling Change Tenders
Change tenders appear on the Tenders Board with an **orange “Change”** label.
### Review and Act on a Change Tender
When a tender of type Change arrives you’ll need to review the changes and decide whether to accept it. To begin, click **View Changes** in the **Actions** column.
A new browser tab will open the **Load Details** page with a sidebar open showing the **Tender Update** where you can review the specifics:
Choose an action:
* **Accept** – approve the update.
* **Reject Tender Only** – reject the update, keep the original load.
* **Reject and Cancel Load** – reject the update and cancel the load (EDI notification is sent).
If you clicked **Accept**, decide how to apply changes:
* Check **Apply all changes to the load** to apply everything at once, or
* Leave it unchecked to apply changes individually.
(Optional) Apply items one by one in the **Tender Update** panel:
* Click **Apply** to update the load with that change.
* Click **Skip** to ignore it.
When an applied change triggers the addition of a stop, you’ll be asked to confirm or assign the appropriate Company:
Your selection is recorded and communicated via EDI where applicable; the load is updated according to the changes you applied.
⚠️ Once a change is applied, it cannot be undone (you can still edit the load manually afterward).
## Handling Cancellation Tenders
Cancellation tenders notify you that the shipper wishes to cancel the shipment.
### Cancel a Load from a Cancellation Tender
#### Steps
1. Click **View Changes** on the tender.
2. Review the **Tender Update** panel indicating the cancellation.
3. Click **Cancel Load** (red button) to confirm.
#### Outcome

ℹ️ If you believe the cancellation is incorrect, simply close the panel; the load remains active.

## FAQs
#### Do change tenders create a new row?
No. The existing tender row is updated and its type changes to **Change**.

You’ll be prompted for a reason. You can either keep the original load active or cancel the load entirely.
#### Can I undo changes after applying them?
No. Applied changes are permanent, though you can still edit the load manually afterward.
