Awarding by Response: Worked Example

Awarding by response enables you to quickly award an entire negotiation to a single supplier. This is especially convenient when renegotiating a catalog with a supplier. You can award the entire negotiation to the supplier without having to award each line separately.

In this example, after negotiating with one if her incumbent suppliers, the catalog manager is ready to confirm the price structure with her supplier so she awards the negotiation to the incumbent supplier.

Awarding by Response

1. She accesses the negotiation from the home page.

2. On the negotiation summary page for the negotiation from the Actions menu, she selects Award > Award Negotiation.

3. On the Award Negotiation page, the Suppliers tab is selected by default. From the Suppliers table, she selects the supplier and clicks Award.

4. On the Award Responses page, information about the negotiation is displayed in columnar format in the Compare and Award section. Information about each response is displayed on the side of the section. She selects the Award Decision entry for the supplier and clicks Save.

5. When she returns to the Award Negotiation page, graphs display award summary information, and the Award Progress Percent indicator shows the negotiation 100% complete.

6. If appropriate, she can continue completing the award process by generating the purchase document.
