Price Negotiations Made Easy: Convert Selected Unit Prices to Target Price

Set target prices based on current market trends, using the supplier API prices after making initial selections. Communicate target prices to suppliers effortlessly, enhancing bargaining power and securing the best deals.

Costed BOM Comparison Updates

If you're not taking advantage of the Costed BOM Comparison on the Materials tab, you are late to the party!! We've gotten some feedback and are making changes to the colors to make it easier to understand. Check out the changes below:

  • Green is now used to show that a price is lower

  • Min column added

  • Site Column added when choosing a historical assembly

This is available for all tiers -- take advantage of it!!

 

Why do I care? Compare BOMs with easier-to-follow colors.

 

 

 

New AutoSelect Filters: Lifecycle and Obsolete

New AutoSelect filter to help users to control what stage of a lifecycle a selected piece is at or add criteria for obsolete parts.

Summary Tab Labor/Material Adjustments Now Subtotals Into Overhead Calculation

We’ve refined the process to utilize adjusted subtotal values from the Summary Tab, ensuring more precise quoting for your Overhead Calculations. Overhead is now recalculated per quote after adjustments are made on the Summary Tab.

 

Why do I care? Calculating overhead after adjusting totals on the summary tab means more accurate quoting and less time for users to review/adjust costs.

Create API Groups for Faster Pricing!

Configure supplier pricing groups so you can select the suppliers you want to run API pricing for, quicker!

 

 

 

Why do I care? Users can now pre-set supplier groups based on location, commodity, color, WHATEVER. Group em and keep moving with fewer clicks!

 

 

 

 

Set Preferred Vendor when using BOM Insights

When importing your Data Source for BOM Insights, users can now add their Preferred Supplier for the MPN so when further down the stream, you don’t need to define the preferred supplier when using Auto Select or sending out bidsheets.

 

 

Why do I care? Users can set these values on the BOM Tab without needing to head to their ERP to identify the preferred suppliers. This will come in handy for things like PLA and other MFGRs that might have a supplier preference.
