What are Questionnaires?
Questionnaires are used by the sourcing manager to collect information during a sourcing event. They help verify standards, gather organizational details, or evaluate supplier proposals and commitments.
How to Complete and Submit a Questionnaire?
Once you accept a project invitation, all tasks appear in the Tasks section. If there is a questionnaire, it will be listed there.
Click the black Go to questionnaire button to access it.
You can choose to fill out the questionnaire directly in the app or work offline in Excel and upload your answers.
