Using Attributes or Price Factors in a Negotiation

Help Home/Creating Negotiations

When you create an RFQ or auction by applying a template and then use the spreadsheet upload feature to add your items, any attributes/cost factors defined for the template are added to any attributes/cost factors you define via the spreadsheet.

For example, if there are three attributes/cost factors for your template, and your spreadsheet upload includes two items, item A with four attributes/cost factors, and item B with two attributes/cost factors, the result of applying the template and then uploading by spreadsheet is that item A now has seven attributes/cost factors and item B has five attributes/cost factors.

If there are duplicate attribute/cost factors between the template and the spreadsheet, the precedence is:

  1. the attribute/cost factor specified on the spreadsheet

  2. the attribute/cost factor specified by the template.
