Score by Criteria

This tab is not required to submit the EV transaction to Final. However, if a line is added to this tab by clicking the Load Criteria Line action, then a value must be entered in the Points Awarded field. The buyer uses the Points Awarded field to establish a score for each vendor’s Evaluation Criteria response. The switcher in the action bar is used to switch between vendors. Evaluations that are entered via the Evaluator (EVT) transaction will not display on this tab.

• Delete all Lines - This action deletes all lines from this tab.

• Load Criteria Line - This action allows buyers to view and score the vendors’ criteria responses directly on the EV transaction.

Note: If records are already loaded on the Score By Criteria tab and a user clicks the Load Criteria Line action, then the system issues an error A3524: "Evaluation Criteria Lines have already been loaded.".  Also, if the user had deleted all the lines loaded previously using the Delete all Lines action and then selects the Load Criteria Line action again, the system successfully loads the criteria lines.
