Optimum Control has bid functions that you can request and/or receive bid prices and decide which pricing is the best from which Supplier. The lowest price per recipe unit will be analyzed and the order window will select the Supplier with the best pricing. This is a suggestion only and you will be able to override the selection.
All Items can receive bid pricing and if a current bid is in place that price will be used for making orders.
To manually enter a Bid:
1. Choose
Orders (Main Menu
Toolbar).
2. Select
Bid List (Order
Toolbar).
3. Click a Supplier from the list.
4. Choose an End Date (the date until the bid pricing expires). Each row has an end date, but to simplify this process, enter the date the bid prices are good until in the date field at the top of the rows of items. Once entered all rows will now have the same end date. This should be the date their bid is valid until. But you can overwrite the bid date by item as necessary.
5. Filter by group to detail bids based on meat and produce for example.
6. Enter the Bid Pricing for each Item. Note – it is desirable to export the sheet to a supplier and have them fill it in and send back to you.
