K-Tender
Connect K-Tender to K-Projects and other Khanal apps
K-Tender works with Connected storage, K-Projects and your other Khanal apps through a few real links. This page lists each one and how to switch it on.
Last updated
What you need
- A won tender with its contract recorded on the Contract tab (for K-Projects)
- The Finance manager, Tender manager or Organisation admin role
- Access to K-Projects in the same Khanal organisation
- Connected Google Drive or OneDrive (for sharing documents)
Start a project in K-Projects
- Open the won tender and click the Contract tab.
- On the Agreement card, click Start project in K-Projects.
- Read the list of BOQ lines and milestones that will be sent, and any that are left out.
- Click Continue to K-Projects within 10 minutes.
- In K-Projects, sign in, check the details and confirm. The project is created only then.
Bring RA bill quantities back from K-Projects
- In K-Projects, open the RA abstract and download it as CSV.
- In K-Tender, on the Contract tab, open Import quantities from a K-Projects abstract (CSV).
- Choose the CSV and click Read the abstract.
- Check the pre-filled Add RA bill form, add deductions and save it.
Share a vault document with another app
- Open the document in Document vault.
- Under Share with other Khanal apps, tick K-Finance, K-Secretarial, K-IPO or K-MailSign.
- Click Save sharing. Those apps use the same file in your drive by reference; nothing is copied.
Good to know
- The Start project in K-Projects button shows only when your company uses K-Projects. Sending again opens the project already made instead of a second one.
- Files shared to K-Tender by your other apps appear on Connected storage under Shared by your other Khanal apps; click Add to vault to use one.
- K-Tender does not post to K-Finance directly. Use the receivables export, the cash-flow forecast or the API under Settings → Integrations.
- The add-supplier form can search your company directory of companies your other Khanal apps already know.
Common errors
I do not see Start project in K-Projects
The tender is not marked Won, your role cannot edit finance, your plan has no contracts, or your organisation does not hold K-Projects. Ask your organisation admin.
"This organisation is not linked to Khanal ID yet, so in K-Projects you choose the organisation yourself."
Pick the right K-Projects organisation carefully on the review screen. Linking your organisations in Khanal ID makes the match automatic.
"This is not a K-Projects abstract"
The heading row was not found. Download the RA abstract from K-Projects as CSV again and upload that file without editing it.
"Only documents held in your Google Drive can be shared with other Khanal apps."
The document is still on the server from before storage was connected. Move it with Copy files to on Connected storage, or upload it again.
