DMS-16027

This feature introduces a new event rule, Allow overrides only in alternative bids, that allows buyers using guided sourcing to limit the pricing conditions volume scale overrides by suppliers to alternative bids. The ability to limit the supplier overrides to alternative bids enables buyers to receive primary bids with uniform volume scales for consistent comparison of bids from all participants. Suppliers will continue to have the flexibility to customize volume scales in alternative bids to make their best offers.

Today customers have the option to allow suppliers to override the volume scales of the pricing conditions for each item they are bidding on. This gives the suppliers the ability to state the most competitive prices based on their economies of scales. However, this conversely creates the challenge for buyers to not have bids they can easily compare to each other as each supplier might use different volumes scales.

Ability for customers to define the volume scales for the supplier’s primary bids in order to later compare prices with same volume structures to each other. At the same time, buyers can still give enough flexibility to their supplier by allowing them to override the used volume scales in alternative bids and therefore enabling them to optimize their prices according to their economies of scale.
