More Ways to Compare Quotes in Bid Analysis

Bid Analysis gains new options for comparing vendors: it now reflects a selected vendor's material requirements in the related COM order quantity, and lets you choose exactly how each vendor's pricing and quantities are shown.

April 2022

Choosing a vendor is rarely a straight price-to-price comparison, so this update gives Bid Analysis more ways to see the full picture.

Bid Analysis now brings a selected vendor's material requirements into the related COM order quantity, so what you are comparing reflects what you will actually order. You also get more control over the view: apply a vendor's minimum order quantity or increment to display a quantity that differs from what was budgeted, and choose whether each vendor's pricing and order quantity appears as a variance to budget or as a subtotal for the spec.

Wherever a variance shows, Sigma keeps to one convention across the whole system, negatives in red and positives in blue, part of the consistency that makes the interface predictable no matter where you are in it.
