The latest negotiation response information, which includes prices, discounts, and dates is synchronized
to the RFQ Responses (tdpur1506m000) session. Counter proposal information is not synchronized.
Step 3: RFQ Compare Responses (tdpur1600m100)
You can compare and rank the RFQ responses using the RFQ line, RFQ bidder, and RFQ response
sessions.
In the RFQ Compare Responses (tdpur1600m100) session, the response lines with the status
Responded, Negotiating, or Accepted can be compared and ranked. This session helps you select
the best responses for conversion. You can perform an analysis for a single line or all the lines of the
RFQ.
The response lines are compared and ranked based on:
▪
Objective and subjective criteria, if a criteria set is specified for the RFQ.
▪
Prices and amounts. Prices and amounts can also include landed costs (bidder and third
party).
Note: Although no criteria set is required for a comparison based on prices and amounts, you can also
specify prices as criteria in a criteria set.
You can use the following sessions to view the ranked response lines, which are displayed as tabs in
the RFQ Compare Responses (tdpur1600m100) session:
▪

Step 4: Convert RFQs (tdpur1202m000)
After accepting a response line, for which you set the status to Accepted, you can use the Convert
RFQs (tdpur1202m000) session to convert the response line to a purchase order, purchase contract,
or price book.
For a selected response line, you can start this session as follows:
▪
By clicking Convert RFQs on the appropriate menu of the RFQ Responses (tdpur1506m000)
session. This command is enabled only if the Conversion Action field is set to Convert and
the Conversion Type field is specified in the RFQ Responses (tdpur1506m000) session.
▪
By clicking Convert and then Convert to Order, Convert to Contract, or Convert to Price
Book on the appropriate menu of the RFQ Compare Responses Based on Criteria Set
