If you want to generate RFQ(s) for another selection of business partners, click Reset Selection.

Note You can approve buy-from business partners for a specific item in the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session. Fill Purchase Office in RFQ If this check box is selected, a purchase office is defaulted to the generated RFQs. Related topics Default purchase office RFQ Series Select the request for quotation (RFQ) series for which you want to generate the RFQs. Criteria Set Select the RFQ criteria set that you want to link to the generated RFQs. Maximum Number of Items The maximum number of items in the given range for which you want to generate a request for quotation (RFQ). If the maximum number of items is exceeded, a new RFQ is created. RFQ Date The date on which the request-for-quotation is entered into the system. Default value The default RFQ date is the system date. Max No. of Buy-from BPs The maximum number of buy-from business partners that you want to link to the request for quotation (RFQ). Note 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. If you select buy-from business partners from an approved source list, 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. Delivery Date The date the items for which you sent a request for quotation, are scheduled to be delivered. The items are scheduled to be delivered when the buy-from business partner submits a quotation that is accepted by your company. Note When you copy the RFQ in the Convert Quotations to Contracts/Orders/Price Books (tdpur1202m000) session, the delivery date is copied to a purchase order, purchase contract, or price book. The delivery date is copied after you have accepted the buy-from business partner's quotation.

Use the Enter Specific Business Partners (tdpur1821s000) session if the buy-from business partner numbers that you want to link to the RFQ do not form a successive range. Reset Selection Deletes the selection you entered. You can make a new selection. |
