Ranking RFQ responses

RFQ response lines are ranked based on the total (citeria) score, and based on the price of the lines.

Note

Ranking based on prices and amounts is always performed. Ranking based on criteria set and the calculation of criteria scores is performed only if a criteria set is specified for the RFQ.

Ranking based on criteria set

If a criteria set is specified for the RFQ, scores are calculated for each criterion specified in the criteria set. You can view the ranking based on the total score for response lines, or bidders in these sessions:

The higher the score, the higher the ranking.

Ranking based on prices

Response lines are always compared and ranked based on prices and amounts. You can view the ranking based on the total price for response lines, or the total amount for bidders, in these sessions:

  • For each response line that is compared, the Net Price, Net Bidder Price, and Net Purchase Price are displayed. By default, the ranking of the lines is based on the net price, but this can be modified.
  • For each bidder, the sum of the prices converted to amounts is displayed. Because different RFQ lines can have different units, the responses are compared based on amounts. By default, the ranking of the lines is based on the net amount, but this can be modified. If the All lines included check box is selected, a bidder responded to all requested items. Bidders who responded to all items are ranked higher.

The lower the prices, the higher the ranking.

Note

These sessions are displayed as tabs in the RFQ Compare Responses (tdpur1600m100) session.
