Function documentationTendering Step Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

You can use this function to structure a tendering plan. A tendering plan can contain one or more tendering steps. The system executes the steps in sequence. However, it only starts a new step if the previous step has not led to an acceptable freight quotation (FQ). A tendering step is always related to a specific tendering type.

Example

The tendering manager enters a road freight order (road FO) with two tendering steps. He or she specifies the following structure:

  1. In the first step, he or she specifies a peer-to-peer tendering type and adds the 3 best carriers.

  2. In the second step, he or she defines a broadcast tendering type and assigns 5 carriers.

    The first acceptable quotation is awarded the road FO.
