Enter Request for Supplier Agreement Quotation Header

Explanation

A request for a quotation is a letter where you can request price quotations for specified parts and quantities, or price conditions for an estimated amount of a specified supplier assortment. Often, you send requests for quotations to several suppliers before you create a supplier agreement.

There are two kinds of requests: Supplier agreement requests and order requests. An order request refers to a quotation for a single purchase. A supplier agreement request contains information needed to create a supplier agreement with the supplier and refers to recurring purchases for a given time period.

The request for a quotation is built in two levels consisting of a request header and one or several request lines. The first step in a new entry is to enter the request for a supplier agreement quotation header.

Optionally, you can specify a ship via code, delivery term as well as the defined location, or payment term in your request.

The request for a supplier agreement quotation can either be entered manually in the Request for Supplier Agreement Quotation window, or processed from IFS/Project Delivery or IFS/Project if it is connected to a project.
