You may notice occasionally that when responding to a negotiation line, the price you enter for the line is increased or decreased, that is, it is changed or "transformed." This happen when transformational bidding is in effect for you for that line, and the buyer chose to show you the transformed responses. Transformation responding is a method by which certain cost factors can be applied to your response price. The addition of price factors could transform your response price by increasing it.
When responding to a line for which price factors are in effect for you, you enter your response price in the Line Price field. After you click Continue, you are taken to the Create: Review and Submit page. The Quote/Bid Price column shows the transformed price, and the applicable price factors are displayed in the Price Factors table if the buyer chose to show you them. this provides an explanation of how the modified amount was calculated.
