GovWin IQ Company Information

This group box is visible only if you are configured for GovWin IQ to Costpoint Vendor integration.

For regular vendors, all fields are disabled and read-only.

For prospective vendors, use this group box to view information imported from GovWin IQ through the Import GovWin IQ Vendor Data screen, or run the integration routine to GovWin IQ for a specific record.

Data in this group box is updated for a prospective vendor every time you run the Import GovWin IQ Vendor Data application for a range of records that includes that prospective vendor (provided that the Do Not Refresh check box is not selected for that prospective vendor), or when you click the Refresh from IQ button in this group box.

Attention: For details on the source data and vendor fields updated by the GovWin IQ integration, see the field mapping information here:

GovWin IQ Integration Setup Guide

Field Description
GovWin IQ Company ID

This field displays the vendor's company ID in GovWin IQ. You can modify this field for the prospective vendor, but the ID must be a unique value within Costpoint.

Note, however, that if this vendor record has been refreshed or updated from GovWin IQ, changing or deleting the value in this field will prevent any future refresh from GovWin IQ to this prospective vendor record. Any exclusion information related to this prospective vendor will also be deleted.

If you already deleted the GovWin IQ company ID for this record but the company profile in GovWin IQ is still marked for import into Costpoint, the GovWin IQ company will be added as a new prospective vendor the next time you run the integration process. You must unmark the company in GovWin IQ if it no longer needs to be interfaced with Costpoint.

Last GovWin IQ Synch This field displays the date that this record was last updated by the GovWin IQ to Costpoint Vendor integration process.
Last GovWin IQ Analyst Update This field displays the date that an update was made to the company profile in GovWin IQ.

This check box is enabled only if a value exists in GovWin IQ Company ID.

Select this check box to exclude this prospective vendor record from being updated from the GovWin IQ company profile when the GovWin IQ to Costpoint Vendor integration process is run. Selecting this check box also disables the Refresh from IQ button. You can select or clear this check box at any time.

Refresh from IQ Click this button to update the prospective vendor data from the GovWin IQ company profile. This button is enabled only when the Do Not Refresh check box is not selected.
