Greater versatility for requisitions
We're excited to announce an enhancement to the requisition module that improves the process for procuring goods and providing buyers greater flexibility. Buyers can now manage multiple quotes and purchase orders for partial line items within one single requisition. Requisition lines can be selected for quotes and direct purchase orders as required, leaving the remainder of the requisition open for future purchase orders or quotes when required.
Additional questions for standard PQQ and company profile
Suppliers are now able to give more information on their health and safety, and data protection policies, with specific questions being surfaced in both the company profile and standard prequalification questionnaire. Not only can they provide these clarifications but can also surface their policies directly in both locations for greater visibility for the buyer’s procurement team.
Enhanced formatting for standard PQQ
With the recently introduced configurable PQQ template, buyers have been able to customise their template and expand on the standard question set with an array of different question options. Buyers will not have the ability to configure the layout of the existing standard prequal elements, allowing the insertion of questions, sub-sections, and sections into existing pre-defined components.
Custom tags for PQQ
Following on the inclusion of configurable attributes for the purchasing requisitions form; the same flexibility is being added to the prequalification review process. Buyers are now able to define 4 custom tags as part of their review process to track any internal information against that record – including relationship manager, custom status or provide a unique supplier reference.
Add comments when reviewing suppliers
In addition to either a binary or scaled scoring, buyers will now have the ability to provide comments along with their performance management reviews. Should a supplier’s performance be so exemplary that you want to provide context or that the nature of the scoring doesn’t provide the full picture, review comments provide the reviewer with the flexibility to provide a true account of the supplier under review.
