Request quotes from vendors

Last updated: June 20, 2026

What this does

A Quotation Request (RFQ) asks one or more vendors to price what you need. You then record what they quote back and compare.

Open Quotation Request

Go to Menu > Purchase > Quotation Request.

Steps

  1. Click Create. Set the Vendor Name and the contact, and a Delivery by date.
  2. Add the Requirements you want priced. You can generate the RFQ from a requisition so the lines carry over.
  3. Confirm to send it out.
  4. When a vendor replies, record it under Quotation Received, then turn the best one into a purchase order.
