				<List><ListItem>If you enter a range of business partners and the maximum number of buy-from business partners is exceeded, the RFQ is only linked to the number of buy-from business partners that you specify in this field.</ListItem>
					<ListItem>If you select buy-from business partners from an <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#000084" role="glossary">approved source list</Link>, the maximum number of business partners is linked to the item. Therefore, if you link a number of buy-from business partners to an RFQ, the maximum number of business partners will not necessarily match the value in this field. This is because each item can have a different number of approved suppliers and the maximum number of buy-from business partners is limited by the item and not by the RFQ. Each line on an RFQ can therefore have a different maximum number of suppliers.</ListItem>
