Solution Detail

This page is accessed via Sourcing > Bid Analysis > Solution Detail.

In most cases, the solution detail records are created by the Sourcing solver when you run the action Solve Scenario. However, you can also manually create solution detail records.

Note: You can also delete any unwanted solution detail records by clicking Delete which is the Solution Detail finder results screen.

You can also access the Solution Detail screen by clicking Solution Detail at the bottom of the Solution Summary page.

Manually Adding a Solution Detail Record

1. Select Solution ID.
2. Select a Bid ID.
3. Enter a Count Awarded.
4. Enter a Percentage Awarded.
5. If you want to fix the award to a bid, select the Fixed check box.
   
   To ensure that manually created solution detail records are not overwritten by the Sourcing solver, the Fixed option is set as following depending on how the solution detail record is added:
   1. Selected - The Fixed check box is selected by default on all solution detail records added when you manually create a new solution detail record, click Add More Bids on the solution summary, or run the Add Bids to Solution action.
   2. Not selected - This option is not selected if a solution detail record is created by the Sourcing solver.
6. Select the Domain Name.

Editing an Existing Solution Detail Record

For existing solution detail records, you can modify the total shipments or percentage of shipments awarded. You can also specify if this record is fixed or not. You cannot change the other fields on this screen.

1. Enter a new value in the Count Awarded field. If you selected Percentage on the Projects page connected to this solution, the field will be named Percentage Awarded.
2. If you want to fix the award to a bid, select the Fixed check box.

   Note: If this check box is selected, the award will not change in subsequent solver runs.

3. Click Finished.

Note: You can view the Manual Awards Report to see the manual awards for each lane compared to that of demand and the total awarded. If the Fixed option on the solution detail record is selected, then the award is considered manual. To view the report, go to Sourcing > Reports and run the Manual Awards Report.  This report will only list the equipment group for lanes with a shipment type of OCEAN.
