PO16


PO16.1 - Bid

This program is used for several purposes:

One purpose is to add small bid requests when the bid items are known and
running the Bid Creation batch program to create the bid would not make sense.

A second purpose is to enter vendor bid responses that have been received via
mail or fax.

The third purpose is to maintain bid responses or catalog prices that have
been entered into the bid system by any means. Maintenance may need to be done
because the vendor has not provided enough data to load the bid item to a
quote or contract line. Vendor units of measure may need to be corrected, for
instance. The program can also be used to maintain an update flag, which gives
you the ability to keep certain items from being loaded to quotes or contract
lines.

The Mimic field allows you to add bids or bid responses by copying all of the
detail lines (not just those displayed) from an existing bid. This process is
started by inquiring on an existing bid (the bid must not have a vendor number
associated with it). Then enter a Y in the Mimic field, select the vendor for
the new bid or bid response, and add the bid or bid response.

PO16.2 - Bid Response

This program is used primarily to maintain bid responses that have been
entered into the bid system by any means. Maintenance may need to be done
because the vendor has not provided enough data to load the bid item to a
quote or contract line. Vendor units of measure may need to be corrected, for
instance. The program can also be used to maintain an update flag, which gives
you the ability to keep certain items from being loaded to quotes or contract
lines. Bid items are listed in manufacturer number sequence, to match the
sequence of the Bid Analysis report.
