Steps to follow
Step 1 Tendering process types
If the client wants to use the tendering process the setting on the right side should be set to yes. If this is set to yes a tendering process type needs to be added. To add tendering process types, navigate to the include at the bottom of the page and click Add. After clicking Add a new line will be added to the Tendering process types, to specify this Tendering type click on the question mark to open it:
Within this tendering process a few settings can be predefined.
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Name | The tendering process name |
Review tendering process before sending | Determine whether the tendering process should be reviewed before sending the quotations. If so, select a contact or service group to perform this task. |
Accept quotation by contact | The contact to review the tendering process. |
Accept quotation by group | The service group to review the tendering process. |
Add documents as attachment by default | Determine whether documents are automatically added as attachment. |
Use mail to tag | If set to yes, a tag is created and linked to the object that is sent. As soon as the recipient sends an email back (using Reply to all), the email is also sent to the mail to tag contact and the mail and attachments are automatically linked to the object in Axxerion. |
The standard comparison criteria are listed in the include at the bottom. “Price” is automatically created but new criteria can be added.
Step 2 Settings to be determined
Tip: We go over the settings in the table below. However, hovering over the field you are filling in will often provide you with the same help text:
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Use tendering process workflow from workorder | If set to yes, a separate Tendering process can be started from a Corrective- and LTMP workorder. The workorder process will then automatically resume once a quotation has been accepted. |
