| Specifying criteria and criteria sets for RFQsYou can compare and rank response lines based on the objective and subjective criteria specified for the criteria set that is linked to the RFQ. Objective criteria are tracked by Infor LN, whereas
subjective criteria are user-defined. When comparing response lines, Infor LN considers
all the objective and subjective criteria for the RFQ, including the user
specified weightings, to calculate a total score for the response lines.
Consequently, the response lines can be ranked. To use criteria to evaluate responses: - Specify criteria sets in the RFQ Criteria Sets (tdpur1190m000) session. A criteria set is a list of RFQ criterions that
can be linked to an RFQ header. The responses are evaluated based on these
criteria.
- Specify the RFQ subjective criteria in the RFQ Subjective Criteria (tdpur1191m000) session. You must only specify the subjective
RFQ criteria, because the objective criteria are predefined in Infor LN.
- Define a criteria set (by linking the required criteria to a
set) in the RFQ Criteria by Criteria Set (tdpur1192m000) session. You must also indicate the
significance of the various criteria by assigning weightings to the same.
- For the criterion types Quantity, Delivery Time, and Subjective, specify the values and assign scores to the
values in the RFQ Criterion Scoring Schemes (tdpur1193m000) session.
If you do not specify a scoring scheme for the objective criteria, Infor LN uses
predefined system values.
- After receiving a bidder's response, link subjective values to the response in the RFQ Response - Subjective Criterion Scores (tdpur1195m000) session. LN calculates the
objective criteria.
Notes - You can also use the RFQ Criteria Set (tdpur1690m000) session to specify a criteria set with linked criteria
and a scoring scheme.
- For comparisons based on prices and amounts, a criteria set is
not required. However, you can also specify prices as criteria in the criteria
set.
- If the concerned bidder is selected for vendor rating, Infor LN also
considers vendor rating when comparing responses.
