bidCostOutliers

Requires permission biddesk:cost_sheet:read.

Compares each item line of a cost sheet with what the same item cost before (other bids' approved sheets, imported past bids, matched actual purchases; one year; same unit and currency). A line beyond 3 interquartile ranges is flagged high or low; fewer than 5 past costs says so. Requires Bid Desk, permission to read cost sheets and to view costs.

Errors: a failed call returns a GraphQL errors entry, not a field on the result, and data may be null or partial. Read the entry's extensions.code and message; every shape and code is in the Error reference.

Example:

GraphQL

query BidCostOutliers($costSheetId: ID!) {
  bidCostOutliers(costSheetId: $costSheetId) {
    status
    actualCount
    bidCount
    currency
    deviationPct
    importedCount
  }
}

Arguments

bidCostOutliers.costSheetId ● ID! non-null scalar

The cost sheet.

BidCostOutlier object

A cost line compared with past costs of the same item in the same unit and currency. The quartiles, fences and deviation are costs: null without permission to view costs. Advises only; nothing here changes a cost or a price.
