Comparison Map – The latest improvements of the quarter

What's New in Usability

New view of “Purchase History” in the Synthetic mode option of the Comparison Map

  • When opening the “Purchase History” tab, the user views the price history of the last order placed on the Portal, related to the product being quoted.

Possibility to choose the branch to compare the price history

  • The new Map displays, by item, all branches that have a negotiation history for price comparison. By default, the system displays the price history linked to the branch being negotiated.

 

View and download quote attachments on the Comparison Map

  • All attachments included by suppliers can be viewed on the Map itself.

Attachment icon available in the Tab Header:

Attachment icon available on item:

  • When you click on the attachment icon, the portal displays some information, such as the type of attachment and the link to download it.

Storing user preferences

  • When you select any items or preferences in the field settings, the Comparison Map saves your selections and stores the history so you can continue editing even after leaving the quote area.

 

Close contracts with different suppliers

  • Possibility of selecting the winning supplier, even before generating the contract for the item(s). This way, it is possible to generate contracts with different suppliers.

 

View +1000 items on the Comparison Map

  • It is now possible to view quotes that have many items.

 

Improvements in tax calculations, such as Difal (ICMS Tax Rate Difference)

  • Display and calculation of the “Difal” field.
  • The Comparative Map calculates the “Difal”, according to the ICMS declared by the supplier, comparing the ICMS Origin/Destination rate already pre-defined in the Portal (based on the origin of the supplier vs the destination of the quote item).

  • In the example above, the item's destination is São Paulo and the ICMS Origin/Destination rate pre-defined in the Portal was 20%.

 

Inclusion of VAT validation according to purchase interstate ou state

  • We have recently added a validation for VAT selection, according to the criteria of interstate or state purchases. Since some VAT codes are blocked in SAP and cannot be selected when the purchase is made, interstate, the Comparative Map blocks the selection of this code to be valid only for state purchases.

  • When VAT is exclusive to purchases in the same State, the Comparative Map will display an alert and block the process from progressing.

 

  • If the selected VAT code complies with the interstate or state condition, the system performs validation.

 

Equalized value according to “Material Application”

  • New calculation included, which allows the equalization of the item value, according to the “Material Application”.
    Generally, industries are able to collect some taxes based on the “Application of Material”. For example, in “Industrialization” it is possible to collect ICMS, IPI, PIS and Cofins.

  • For all changes related to taxes, you must contact our call center and request the new configuration.

 

Home – Latest improvements of the quarter

Search for quotes by supplier CNPJ

  • To help buyers search for quotes, it is now possible to search for documents using the supplier's CNPJ.
  • To perform the search: enter the supplier's CNPJ in the same search field as the quotes in which the supplier is participating.

 

Quote Response Status

  • To make it easier to understand the progress of quotes, we have added a column to the quote grid, “Response Status”. In this new column, the user will be able to identify whether all items have responses from suppliers.
  • This column becomes the default in the quote grid. To view it, simply include it in the grid column settings.

Approval Overrides

  • Now, users who have approvals in lieu of other users can perform these actions directly from the Home page. The approvals will be listed alongside the approvals that already belong to the user and will have an identification (what is an approval override and who is the original approver of the document).
  • To benefit from this change, you must migrate to the new Home interface and enable the “new pending approvals” functionality. The Requisition, Pre-Order and Invoice documents are also part of the improvement.

 

Also see what's coming in the next Quarterly Release:

  • Export to Excel
  • Distribution by item quantity
  • Unit of Measurement Conversion

We hope you enjoy all the improvements.

Until next time and happy holidays!
