      How to Bid for Multiple Packages in BidCQ

      How to manage the various approaches for handling customer bids involving multiple packages.

      1. Expanded View: ON

      • Behavior:

        • All package/quantity rows must have pricing submitted.

        • There is no system logic to auto-fill or copy pricing between rows.

        • If "Enforce Required Columns" is enabled, the user must manually input a price for each quantity level or an error will occur.

      2. Expanded View: OFF

      • Behavior:

        • The system will automatically copy pricing from higher quantity tiers to lower ones with the higher quantity minimum

        • Example:

          • If a bid is sent to Suppliers with 5 quantities and prices are entered for quantities 3 and 5, the system will copy:

            • Quantity 5’s price to quantity 4 with quantity 5 as the minimum order quantity

            • Quantity 3’s price to quantities 1 and 2 with quantity 3 as the minimum order quantity

      3. Summary of Expected Behavior

      Tips:

      • Always confirm whether Expanded View is ON or OFF before submitting pricing.

      • In bids, manually verify all pricing, especially when Expanded View is OFF.
