Evaluation of Freight Quotations 
You can use this process to enable the system to preselect freight quotations (FQs) according to the evaluation criteria you have defined. The process ends when you award a carrier with a road freight order (road FO). You have the following options:
You can evaluate freight quotations immediately after they have been submitted.
You can use the /SCMTMS/TEND_CONT_PROCESS program to evaluate FQs and to detect that the maximum response time for a freight request for quotation (freight RFQ) is over. Moreover, you can evaluate freight quotations that could not be evaluated immediately due to a lock or other technical issues. For more information, see Processing of FQs and Overdue RFQs
You can use the following as evaluation criteria:
Lowest price
Carrier who commits to stop date
Fastest carrier
Prerequisites
To evaluate freight quotations immediately, the system administrator must have entered a system user name in the Quotation Evaluation User field in Customizing. For more information, see Customizing for Transportation Management under 
Freight Order Management 
Tendering Define General Settings for Tendering 07 - Default Settings 
. Make sure that the quote evaluation user has sufficient authorizations. In addition to the authorizations that are specific to SAP Transportation Management, the quote evaluation user needs the following authorizations:
Authorization Object | Authorization Value |
|---|---|
S_BTCH_JOB | Release |
S_BTCH_NAM | Quote evaluation user name |
Process
The system evaluates the FQs according to the criteria you have defined.
The system preselects the most suitable carrier.
You either accept the preselected carrier or you award a different carrier with the FO.
NoteIf you set up the tendering process mode as Freight RFQ Based, Award Manually or Direct Tendering, Send Freight Order Directly, the system performs this step automatically.
End of the note.
