Supplier quotation enquiry, Request for quote lines (DIR57901)

This panel displays the items included on the request for quote.

The RFQ can contain items that should not be requested from one or several suppliers. Such item lines are excluded on the RFQ to a particular supplier.

For example:

The RFQ contains ten items and it should be sent to three suppliers. One of the items should only be requested from one of the suppliers. This means that the total number of items on the RFQ is ten. To one of the suppliers, all ten items should be requested. To the other two suppliers, only nine items should be requested.
