Redwood: View and Download Supplier Response

You can now view the supplier response and download the PDF as a category manager from the Redwood Sourcing application. To view a response, you can search for a response on the Supplier Responses page and access the response number link.

Supplier Response Page

Drill-down Page for High Volume Requirements

You can view the supplier response in a single-page format, with the added ability to search for specific line items.

• Header: You can view the supplier details, response type, amounts, score, and rank in the top section. The purchasing document number for the awarded responses is shown only if one document is generated and is shown as multiple if more than one document is generated. In a surrogate response, information such as when and how it was received, and who entered it is displayed. You can download specific or all attachments at the header level.

• Requirements: Supplier's answers to the requirement questions are presented in the questionnaire format. For a large number of requirements, you can see a summary, and you can drill down to view and navigate through the response details of each section. If the response was scored, you can view the scores, and the weighted score for each requirement.

• Lines: You can search for specific lines and view the response prices and other response values for each line. The line-level attachments can be viewed and downloaded. You can search for specific line items using the item, description, or category. You can also filter using the from line numbers and the to line numbers range.

• Actions

  • Use the Messages action to navigate to the negotiation messages page.

  • Use the Disqualify action to disqualify an active supplier response. You can also enter a note to the supplier stating the reason for disqualification.

  • Use the Revision History action to view the revisions of the current response, if any.

  • Use the Download PDF action to download the supplier response.

  • The Supplier’s View action presents the response as the supplier user would see it.
