On the Select Lines step, you must select all lines that you want to submit a response. You can either select the check box next to the Group to select all lines within that Group or manually select the lines of interest.
All lines will still appear on the Respond to Lines Step; however, the Response Type defaults to No Bid for the lines that were not selected on the Select Lines step and the Response Type defaults to Bid for the lines that were selected on the Select Lines step.
There are four types of Solicitation lines to which you can respond: Item, Service, Catalog and Discount. Each line type has a different set of fields that are required in the response as follows:
Item: Unit Price, Delivery Days, Response Type
Service: Contract Amount, Response Type
Discount: Response Type, Discount %, Effective From, Effective To, Catalog
Catalog: Response Type, Discount %, Effective From, Effective To, Catalog
For each Commodity Response line, only the fields required for the line’s line type are visible on the Respond to Lines step.
On the Respond to Lines step you must indicate the Response Type for each line.
The Response Type defaults to No Bid for the lines that were not selected on the Select Lines step and the Response Type defaults to Bid for the lines that were selected on the Select Lines step.
