This is the program for sending the request for quote to the suppliers included in the RFQ. For those suppliers that meet DI requirements, the request for quote is transferred to the Data Interchange database to be sent via the DI function to the supplier.
For suppliers not using DI, the request for quote can either be printed on paper and/or sent by fax.
A request for quote can be printed as many times as that request for note number is selected.
For documents to be selected for DI transmission (i.e. receiving/sending) you must establish certain DI data for the supplier. All documents sent/received can also be printed on paper, outlining detailed information, if such has been requested on the supplier/customer/document level in the Business partner file. All documents are, however, automatically printed on an DI log printout outlining basic information.
The supplier’s extended item description or the item’s extended item description will be printed on the printout if the following applies:
Prints supplier’s extended item description if:
- Text exists in the item’s Supplier extended item description file
- The Rq field is set to YES in the same file
If no records are found, prints item’s extended item description if:
- text exists in the product’s Extended item description file
- The Rq field is set to YES in the same file
If no records are found, the short supplier’s item description or item description, is printed.
For DI request for quotes, the same handling above applies when the DI quote is created, with the difference that records are created into the request for quote interchange database instead of being printed.
The extended packaging and labelling description will be printed if the following applies:
- text exists in the item’s Extended packaging and labelling file
- the Rq field is set to YES in the same file
