Layout of the Price Comparison

When you open the price comparison list for the first time, you will be shown the default display layout. By clicking on the "Columns" button, you can show and hide the column options. In the selection window you will find the general columns on the left, and the bidder columns on the right, which are displayed per quotation. By clicking on the "OK" button, your selection will be saved and displayed each time you call up the price comparison list. You can readjust the showing and hiding of column options at any time.

price comparison list

In the price comparison list of the loaded working version, the content of the quotations can be changed and saved. This allows you to record the results of the renegotiation without the need for another round of requests. The following adjustments are possible:

  • Change of a unit price per quotation

  • Add a header discount (+) or surcharge (-) reference no or absolute.

  • Determination of which services are to be included in the calculation of the quotation sum.

If the price comparison list has reached a level that is to be stored in an audit-proof manner, the current status of the working version can be saved as a price comparison status.

The following information is displayed as columns:

If a supplier lacks a quotation price for a service, then the comparison and column for this line cannot be calculated and is empty.

Note on the origin of data in the price comparison list:

The data displayed in the price comparison list in the working version comes from the request on the one hand and from the quotations of the suppliers selected for the price comparison list on the other.

 

Origin of the quotation

The items list is taken from the last running request version . If, for example, three request rounds have been carried out (V1, V2 and V3), the items list is taken from version V3.
