PO560


PO560 - Bid Response Load

This program will edit bid responses and price catalog information provided
by vendors, and report on any errors. It will also optionally load the bid
response or price catalog records to the bid file. The records loaded can then
be maintained with PO16.1 (Bid) and PO16.2 (Bid Response) or used to do bid
analysis with PO216 (Bid Analysis). Any records that cannot be loaded may need
to be loaded manually. You must run this program once for each vendor response
in order to do bid analysis.

Bid response and price catalog records must reference a valid item master
item. If the vendor does not provide complete information on an item, the
Purchase Order application will attempt to default the necessary information.
When information is defaulted for an item, the Purchase Order application will
generate exception messages on the report. Exception messages fall into three
severity levels: warning, error, and fatal. A fatal exception is one that
prevents the bid or catalog record from loading to the bid file. An error
exception is one in which the Purchase Order application has defaulted
information that is normally provided by the vendor, such as vendor item
number. A warning exception occurs when the Purchase Order application
defaults information that a vendor may normally not provide, such as your item
number. You may choose the exception message severity level that you wish to
see on the report in the Report Severity field.
