The Line Item Preference table allows you to establish the Line Item Preference records that can be selected during the solicitation process. The following fields are required if a record is added to this table: Preference Code, Preference Code Name, and Weight Factor %.
Buyers can assign up to 5 Line Item Preference records to a commodity line on a Solicitation transaction, and then vendors can request to be approved for any of the Line Item Preference records on the Solicitation Response transaction. If the buyer approves the Line Item Preference request from the vendor on the Evaluation (EV) transaction, then the Weight Factor % and Dollar Cap $ entered for the Line Item Preference record are included when calculating the adjusted bid price.
