Request a Vendor Quote

When you click Request quote in Vendor Price Maintenance, you can specify additional quantities to be quoted and have existing quantities requoted.

The program prompts Enter new quantities to quote or accept 0 to requote existing quantities.

  1. Enter up to three new quantities for the Min order qty fields to generate a Request for Quote document for these quantities in addition to existing price break quantities. To see all of your vendors that supply the item, enter at least one minimum quantity.

    OR

    Leave all fields set to zero to request a re-quote for existing price breaks. Only vendors with existing pricing will be displayed.

  2.  The program prompts Is this correct?

    Click Yes to confirm, click No to re-enter the quantities, or click Cancel to end this action.

  1. When you click Yes, the Request for Quote Selection screen lists vendors of the item. If you entered quantities in step 1, all vendors that supply the item are listed; if you left the quantities in step 1 set to 0, only vendors with existing pricing are listed.
