Fillable forms are a feature that can be used with various other features on the system, including requisitions, requests, and supplier profiles. Once a fillable form template is established, users that work with the supported features will have the option to attach a form template to the applicable transactions, documents, and/or profiles. The information to be included in the form is determined during the creation of the form template.
For example, a fillable form template might have fields that request the details of a product, a negotiation process to be followed, a review of supplier performance, and/or a final quote from a supplier. Any number of rows can be added to a fillable form template to request specific information.
In the case of fillable form templates for requests, a side-by-side comparison of the requested information received from different sources can be viewed in the request’s comparison table. To view a comparison of fillable form template responses from a request:
Once at least one offer has been made, there is also a "Compare Items" option that will show on the listing page and it will also open up details of the request where another option to do a "Fillable Form Comparison" will be.
Fillable forms for requests can also be created with "Min-max", "Target values", and weighted so that the system will automatically select the supplier that matches what is valued by your company based on the inputs and will create a percentage match based on the values entered on the fillable forms.
