This guide walks you through the process of scoring supplier submissions for a Request in DeepStream, highlighting the most important steps and best practices.
1. Navigate to Requests
Once logged in to DeepStream, locate and click on the Requests module in the top navigation bar.
Locate and open the relevant request you wish to Evaluate.
2. Navigate to the Comparison tab
Click the Comparison tab.
Locate the dropdown menu at the top of the page.
Switch the view from Line items / Questions to Evaluation.
Review the evaluation progress at the top of the evaluation panel, where you will see the completion percentage, your completed actions and team actions and progress.
3. Review the First Incomplete Item
Scroll down to the first line item marked as Incomplete.
Incomplete items are identified by a red dot and an exclamation mark icon within.
Click the expand/extension button on the first incomplete action line.
4. Complete the Evaluation Action
Enter the score for the supplier response within the allowed maximum range.
Optionally leave a comment.
Click Submit response.
Once submitted, the system automatically takes you to the next incomplete item either by exchange or supplier.
Repeat this process until all pending evaluation actions are completed.
5. Evaluating by Supplier (Alternative)
Alternatively, you can also evaluate responses directly from the supplier view.
Open the Suppliers tab within the same request.
Select the supplier whose responses you want to evaluate.
In the supplier menu, click Evaluation.
Open the first line marked Action Required.
Submit scores the same way as described previously.
