Award by Line

The Award by Line tab on the Evaluation (EV) transaction displays the vendor's responses to the commodity lines within a commodity group. From this tab a buyer can award at the Commodity line level. The Award by Group switcher in the action bar can be used to change the view to a different commodity group. You can award a specific commodity line to a vendor by selecting the Award check box for that vendor's commodity line response.

• If the Allow Multiple Awards Per Item check box is selected on the Procurement Transaction Control (PRDOC) table for your EV transaction’s record, then the Commodity line can be awarded to multiple vendors. This has to be done in a two step process where you award part of the line to the first vendor by creating the award and then award the remainder to the second vendor by creating the next award transaction.

• If the EV Generate Memo Reference check box is also selected on the Procurement Transaction Control table for your EV transaction’s record, then the EV transaction will set the Reference Type field on the award transaction to Memo if the transaction references a Requisition. This allows you to create an award transaction for more than the requested amount on the Requisition or multiple award transactions that together request more than the specified quantity or contract amount. The EV Generate Memo Reference check box can only be selected when the Allow Multiple Awards Per Item check box is also selected on the PRDOC table.

• The Vendor Type field on the Award by Line tab allows users to define the vendor’s type as Primary or Secondary. If the Enforce Single Primary Vendor flag is selected on PRDOC, then only a single primary vendor will be allowed on the Master Agreement transaction and If the Enforce Single Primary Vendor is not selected, then all Vendor Lines on the Master Agreement can be selected as Primary or Secondary. When awarding to a Master Agreement (MA) from the Evaluation transaction, this field will be used to build the vendor line within the MA as either primary or secondary when awarding multiple vendors within the same MA.
