RFQs Subtask

This subtask displays information regarding where the provisional part (highlighted on the main screen table window) appears in a vendor Request For Quote (RFQ).

The provisional part must be included in an RFQ via the following methods:

  • You can assign RFQ lines to the provisional part in a proposal on the RFQ subtask of the Manage Proposal BOM Cost Estimates - Indented and Manage Proposal BOM Cost Estimates - Summarized screens in Materials Estimating. Similarly, you can select RFQ lines for processing on the Select Request For Quotes from Proposals screen. In both cases, you must run the Create Request For Quotes from Proposals screen to process RFQ lines for a proposal.
  • You can add provisional parts to RFQ lines on the Manage Request For Quotes by Vendor screen in Procurement Planning. Provisional parts cannot be used on the Manage Request For Quotes by Item screen. If the RFQ line was processed via the Create Request For Quotes for Proposals application, it also appears in the Manage Request For Quotes by Vendor screen in Procurement Planning.
