You may receive responses on your RFIs, RFQs or auctions that you wish to disqualify, perhaps because the responses do not meet your target prices, dates, locations, or other criteria.
When you disqualify a response, you are disqualifying an entire response not an individual line in the response.
To disqualify a response:
Click the negotiation number under Your Negotiations at a Glance section to access the Negotiation Summary page. Alternatively, use the Search Negotiations fields to list all negotiations. On the Results: Negotiations page, click the negotiation number to access the Negotiation Summary page.
On the Negotiation Summary page, select View Bid History from the Action menu and click Go.
On the Quote/Bid History page ensure you are viewing the Bid Summary view.
Select the response you want to disqualify. Click Disqualify Bid or Disqualify Quote.
On the Disqualify page, enter a text note to the participant to explain why you are disqualifying the response. Click Done.
The participant will be notified that the response has been disqualified and will have the opportunity to submit another response if the negotiation is still open. All other participants are also notified of the disqualification.
