On this tab you will find an overview of the bids entered and outstanding for your request. In the top half of the page you will find the bid status for suppliers registered on the SupplyOn platform; in the bottom half you will find those that you only invited via an e-mail address.
If several bids were submitted for one supplier, then they submitted several bids during the bid period, e.g. after a meeting with you in which you asked them to improve their offer.
On this page you can enter the items of your request, specify price scenarios (quantity scales or percentages, annual price reduction) or add further request columns or bid columns to the table.
To add columns drag the fields with your mouse from the “Columns” area on the right into the tables area on the left. If no fields are displayed on the right, first have the area appear via “Show field definitions”.
On the “My requests” tab you will find all requests that you created yourself.
Under “Colleagues requests” you will find the requests that your colleagues have given you access to.
On the “All requests” tab you will find both your requests and your colleagues' requests together.
These tabs are your entry pages into SupplyOn Sourcing. Here you select requests or search for requests.
You can confirm free text items in a request and add a relevant comment. If the bid does not live up to your expectations, you can edit the request with write rights.
Following confirmation, the data will be sent to the back end. If the free text items were declined, the data cannot be copied to the back end.
You can have your awarding proposal for a bid confirmed by the relevant persons.
To do this, you should first save an awarding in the bid evaluation or download the bid data with an awarding proposal as an Excel file. You can then upload this Excel table as an attachment to the awarding confirmation.
On the page “Add/modify bid for supplier”, a user of a buying company can edit an already submitted bid. The precondition is that the request is in status “Active” or “Closed”. If the supplier has not submitted a bid yet, the buyer can also create an entirely new bid.
Since the buyer acts on behalf of the supplier, he can only edit seller fields. Customer internal fields are invisible to him. This behavior is applied for request details, line items and cost breakdown sheets.
By showing and hiding columns, you can create and then save your own table profiles. You can also select, change or delete an existing profile.
Here you invite suppliers to your request and give colleagues access. Enter a name in the search field and click on the “Find” button.
Note: Your contacts are the customer responsible usersthat your supplier set for their company.
Groups are used for consolidating users into units that receive different authorizations. Only group members can see their own groups.
As a buyer, you can assign users as group members to as many different company-wide groups as you like. These groups are in turn assigned to various group types. Company-wide groups are used in request templates and requests:
You use this page to make settings for new templates or to change existing templates. The settings that you make here are accepted for the requests that are ultimately created from this template and can be changed there, if you set “Customizable” to “Yes”.
