Analyzing Price Breaks

Once you have defined your price break expectations, and your supplier(s) have responded with bids/quotes, you can have the system evaluate the supplier responses based on scenario information you enter. For example, you could enter different order quantities and see which supplier response is the best for a certain quantity.

To analyze price break information:

  1. Search for the negotiation you're interested in.

  2. On the table of negotiations, click the negotiation number link.

  3. On the negotiation summary page, click Analyze by Line from the Actions menus and click Go.

  4. Select the negotiation line, and click Analyze Price Breaks.

  5. On the Analyze Line: Analyze Price Breaks page, you can enter different values in the fields under Enter Assumptions and have the system calculate the best response based on the values you enter. You can enter values for all price breaks you defined and the system will calculate which of the responses is best for the values you entered.
