Understanding Split Analysis Collaboration

PeopleSoft Strategic Sourcing supports split analysis reviews during both event creation and analysis collaboration. Split analysis reviews allow event administrators to segregate review duties and restrict access to bid factors and their responses to certain groups of individuals. First, you must enable split analysis at the Sourcing business unit level. If enabled, you can do the following:

• Enable split analysis for each event.

• Assign bid analysis types to sections of bid factors, and assign reviewers to the bid analysis types.

• Control access, based on assigned bid analysis review role, of event creation and analysis during collaboration.

• Enable parallel or sequential collaboration.

• Check in and check out an event during event creation and analysis collaboration.

• Calculate and display the results of the split analysis review for the buyer or event creator.

If split analysis is enabled for an event, the event creator can determine collaboration review routing based on bid analysis review sections. In split analysis for both event creation and event analysis, collaborators use the Event Workbench to check in and check out the event. When a collaborator completes his or her review, the system routes notification to the next reviewer, or in the case of parallel collaboration, remaining collaborators receive the check-in notification.

When analysis collaboration is complete, the buyer/event creator can view the results of the split analysis review on the Analyze Total page.
