RFQ Compare Responses Based on Criteria Set (tdpur1511m000)Use this session to view the ranked response lines based on RFQ criteria set. The ranking of the lines is based on the total score for each line. This session is displayed as a tab in the RFQ Compare Responses (tdpur1600m100) session. Note To use this session, a criteria set must be specified for the RFQ in the Requests for Quotation (tdpur1501m000) session.
RFQ A purchasing document that is used as a request to bidders to submit their terms, such as price, discount, delivery time, and payment terms for delivering a (quantity of a) product. You can send the RFQ to several bidders. A bidder can submit an RFQ response for the specified items. You can record the responses, negotiate, and compare the prices and discounts that are offered by different bidders. An accepted response can be copied to a contract, an order, or a price book. Position The lines that include the item details in a request for quotation (RFQ), such as required quantity, time to be delivered, delivery warehouse and so on. The item lines are sent to the bidder. The bidder can respond to each item individually and also offer alternatives for the required item. Alternative The request for quotation (RFQ) line's sequence number, which is greater than one if it includes an item that can be an alternative for the preferred item. You must manually specify alternatives in the Request for Quotation Lines (tdpur1502m000) session. Example The sequence numbers defined in the current field, represent the RFQ lines in the most suitable alternative sequence. So, sequence number one represents the first preferable item that can be an alternative for the originally preferred item, sequence number two represents the second item that can be an alternative, and so on. Item In LN, the raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, sold, and so on. An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or exist in multiple product variants. You can also define nonphysical items, which are not held in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The following are examples of nonphysical items:
Bidder The bidder who sent the response line. Net Price The net price including all the landed costs (bidder and third party). Currency A generally accepted medium of exchange such as coins, treasury notes, and banknotes. The following currency types are available in LN:
Inventory Unit The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter. The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock. Net Bidder Price The net price including the bidder landed costs for the response line. Net Purchase Price The net price for the response line. Rank based on Criteria The rank number of the response line based on the total criteria score. High scores imply high rankings. Total Criteria Score The sum of all the scores calculated for the criteria of the RFQ criteria set. Score Actual Indicates if the calculated score is actual for the response line. If this field is set to No, the calculated score is outdated for the response line. On the appropriate menu of the RFQ Compare Responses (tdpur1600m100) session, click Recalculate Comparisons. Net Purchase Price Score The total score for the criterion type Net Purchase Price, which is calculated using the lowest response net purchase price and the offered response net purchase price. Net Purchase Price Weighted Score The weighted score of the Net Purchase Price Score. Net Bidder Price Score The total score for the criterion type Net Bidder Price, which is calculated using the lowest response net bidder price and the offered response net bidder price. This price includes bidder landed costs and excludes third party landed costs. Net Bidder Price Weighted Score The weighted score of the Net Bidder Price Score. Net Price Score The total score for the criterion type Net Price, which is calculated using the lowest response net price and the offered response net price. This price includes all landed costs (bidder and third party). Net Price Weighted Score The weighted score of the Net Price Score. Vendor Rating Score The total score for the criterion type Vendor Rating, which is calculated using vendor ratings. Vendor Rating Weighted Score The weighted score of the Vendor Rating Score. Quantity Deviation The deviation in quantity between the RFQ line and the response line for the criterion type Quantity. The deviation calculation method: (RFQ line quantity - response line quantity) * 100 Quantity Score The total score for the criterion type Quantity, which is linked to the calculated quantity deviation value. Quantity Weighted Score The weighted score of the Quantity Score. Delivery Time Deviation The deviation in delivery time between the RFQ line and the response line for the criterion type Delivery Time. The methods to calculate the delivery time difference:
Delivery Time Score The total score for the criterion type Delivery Time, which is linked to the calculated delivery time deviation value. Delivery Time Weighted Score The weighted score of the Delivery Time Score. Value The subjective value applicable for the subjective criterion, if the criterion type is Subjective. Note Click Subjective Criteria on the appropriate menu of the RFQ Responses (tdpur1506m000) session to link a subjective value to the criterion in the RFQ Response - Subjective Criterion Scores (tdpur1195m000) session. Subjective Score The total score linked to the subjective value for the subjective criterion. Weighted Score The weighted score of the Subjective Score. Status The status of the response line.
