Quality Attributes – An overview

Competitive bidding is a process in which quotations are solicited from interested parties based on the same set of RFQ information that is provided to all suppliers. Accordingly if for the current RFQ, if the value of Competitive Bidding is “Yes” then none of the document details can be modified in this activity.

This page allows you specify both quantitative and qualitative parameters for the items. You can specify the required minimum, maximum, and the standard attribute value required for a line item. You can also specify the required value of the qualitative parameter.

The quality details specified in this page for a line item are applicable to the RFQ document of the current supplier and for whom the document has been released. These changes do not in any way affect the details of the common RFQ or the details of RFQ for any other supplier.
