Switch Submit Mode and other multiple bid actions

There are three actions that may be performed on multiple bids at one time.

• Switch algo auto submit mode from ON to OFF and vice versa

• Load other bids into draft bids

  • ‘other bids’ are acknowledged bids, a bid template, algo bid or draft bids (from another date)

• Submit draft bids

Open any bid or submission

Edit draft bid

The only bid you may edit is your draft bid. If you would like to edit another bid, for example an algo bid, you must load it into draft first.

If the settlementdate is today then a draft bid will open on the current dispatch interval. This DI will be grey. The next DI is black text meaning it has yet to be dispatched by AEMO.
