Supplier-Entered Attributes in Auctions 
Supplier-Entered Attributes Page
On the Supplier-Entered Attributes tab of Line Item Setup, you can add and define attributes whose values are entered by suppliers. This enables you to solicit specific information from suppliers and make a more informed awarding decision.
You cannot enter attributes for packaged line items, only for single and subline items.
When bidding on a line item, the supplier is prompted to enter a response for each attribute.
