How You Exclude Not Applicable Questions from Scoring

When you qualify suppliers, you might ask questions that don't always apply to some suppliers.

Questions that don't apply should not impact the evaluation when you score that supplier. When you define qualification questions, you can mark one or more response options indicating that you wish to exclude that question from scoring if responders choose that response.

During evaluation, the scoring weight of these not applicable questions is automatically redistributed to the other applicable questions such that their relative importance doesn't change. This avoids penalizing or rewarding the supplier when calculating the final qualification outcome.
