Hi Nitin,

could you provide more details on that issue?

Is there a OSS note available?

We also want to use the scale function in SRM702 but the button is grayed out and cannot be used.

Thanks.

Hi,

There is not customising required to use scaling feature in Rfx.

When you create an Rfx, create questions and add them. You need to check to be weighed flag for each questions you want scaling.

Navigate to the Weights and Scores tab -- here for questions from the previous step enter the wieght percentage

Also if you choose the details you can set the scaling method you want to use for each questions

Once the bidders enters values for questions in the awards screen you can check the ranking based on price and scaling evalution carried out depending on the scaling method selected,.

Hope this helps.

Hi Nitin,

If you have the above explained in place then when you do the response comparison the scaling is done to your prices and ranking is done based on the scaling option you have set example linear, stepped , manual.

For price field you cannot add weights and perfrom scaling by standard.. One way is you can add a question(item level) such that price can be entered as the answer and then you can perfrom the scaling for this question.

Nitin,

Scaling function can be accomplished by using Conditions tab at item level. Use 'Price' as the condition type. That should show up Scaling icon on the condition level. Then you can click on it and add scaling ranges. When the supplier responds to the bid, they can provide prices based on scales and send back.

What do you see when you go to Item level Conditions tab? In the list of conditions, you should see a Price condition type. Try selecting that and that should open up scaling.
