Yes. Even with automatic triggering enabled, you retain full control over the negotiation process.

After the round starts [#after-the-round-starts]

You can override automatic behavior at any point:

| Action              | When to use                                              |
| :------------------ | :------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Close early**     | You've received sufficient responses before the deadline |
| **Extend deadline** | Suppliers need more time to respond                      |
| **Add suppliers**   | You want to invite suppliers who weren't auto-selected   |

Choosing your trigger mode [#choosing-your-trigger-mode]

| Mode          | Best for                  | Why                                         |
| :------------ | :------------------------ | :------------------------------------------ |
| **Automatic** | Routine, lower-value RFQs | Speed matters, less oversight needed        |
| **Manual**    | Higher-value RFQs         | Review supplier performance before inviting |

You can create multiple templates with different trigger modes for different value ranges.
