When Suppliers are responding to a Request or Tender, you have two options for providing your pricing; the Detailed pricing mode or the Summary pricing mode.

The Detailed pricing mode allows you to build a detailed quote proving prices line by line, whereas the Summary mode allows you to enter an overall value. You can find an overview of how you can use the Summary mode here: Responding to a Request or Tender - Pricing Details.

The above-linked article details each step of how you respond to the request, the instructions below will detail how you can provide a response to a detailed quote once you get to the Pricing Mode step.

   Post-discount total	The total value of the product/service after applying a discount (this total value is calculated as the pre-discount total subtracted by the discount percentage).

You could also click the Save & add new button to save the above information and start creating a new line item. Or, you can click on the Cancel button to exit Quote Builder and not save what you've entered above.
   
   
5. Once you've finished creating your items, you will be presented with a table summarising your quoted items. Each item will be designated under the Product subheading of the Quoted items table. On the right of each item, you will see values such as the quantity, unit price and tax component. you will also see the following:
   • The acronym RC refers to whether the item has come from a rate card. If the cell is blank, this means that the item did not come from a rate card. If you have a rate card set up on the Supplier list then you can also provide a response using your rate card information.

   • D% refers to whether a discount has been applied to the item. If a green tag is present within the cell, this means that a discount has been applied.
     
     
     
     

6. In addition to the summary provided within the table, you can click on the name of each item to expand the quote details. In this expanded window, you will be given a detailed breakdown of the quoted item. At the bottom of the table, there are four buttons with the option to edit the item, delete the item, add a new item to the quote, or close to collapse the item.
   
   
   
   

7. Once you have reviewed your quoted items, you can designate whether your item prices are estimated or fixed by clicking either one of the option buttons. You can also type out any assumptions or comments you have about the pricing in the text entry box.
   
   

8. Once you've added all prices and completed the quote details, then click on the Save and Continue button to continue with your response.

If you have selected to use the Detailed pricing mode and decide you want to switch to the Summary pricing mode instead, you can use the button in the top right to do so. If you switch to the summary pricing mode then you will lose any progress and items you saved on the detailed pricing mode. You will be given a warning message to confirm you understand this before changing methods.
