MANAGE VENDOR QUOTES BY VENDOR

Use this screen to enter quote information for one or more items or miscellaneous line types for a specified vendor. You can associate a quote by vendor with a specified request for quote (RFQ).

To associate the information you enter into this screen with an RFQ, you must first enter the RFQ on the Manage Request for Quotes by Vendor screen, or create one using the Create Request for Quotes for Proposals screen in Costpoint Materials Estimating. If you created any quote lines and added them to proposal costs in the Add Vendor Quotes subtask of the Manage Proposal BOM Cost Estimates - Indented and Manage Proposal BOM Cost Estimates - Summarized screens in Costpoint Materials Estimating, they also display on this screen. Similarly, any new quotes that were added in the Reference Quotes subtask (that have an Add Quote of Y) of the Approve Purchase Requisitions or Approve Requisition Lines screens appear on this screen.

Use this screen whenever you need a vendor quote for multiple items.

Vendor Quote

This field displays the quote number that uniquely identifies this quote throughout Costpoint. The quote number is incremented and automatically assigned only if you selected the Auto-Assign Quotes check box on the Configure Vendor Quote Settings screen and entered a Last Quote ID. Costpoint increments the Last Quote ID on the Configure Vendor Quote Settings screen by one. You can skip this field when adding a new quote line. When you save the line, Costpoint assigns the next available number.

If you did not select the Auto-Assign Quotes check box on the Configure Vendor Quote Settings screen, you must enter a quote ID before saving the new record. Costpoint does not store the last number used, so you must track the quote numbers in your own log.

Vendor

Enter, or click to select, the vendor ID for this quote. The vendor name and vendor location display on the adjacent fields. The vendor must not be a payroll vendor, and its Approval Code must not be Not Approved. If the vendor has an Approval Code of Pending, Costpoint displays a warning. If you enter a subcontract ID on the Subcontract Information tab, the vendor linked to the subcontract record is loaded by default and this field cannot be edited.
