      <GeneralSection>
         <Paragraph>Based on the prices and the scoring values, you can decide
		  which buy-from business partner will get the purchase contract or purchase
		  order. For the selected buy-from business partner, you can copy the RFQ(s) to a
		  purchase contract, a purchase order, or a price book in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pur/tdpur1202m000" role="session">Convert Quotations to Contracts/Orders/Price Books (tdpur1202m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>

			 the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pur/tdpur1110m000" role="session">Compare Quotations (tdpur1110m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
         </Note>
         <Paragraph>When you select more than one buy-from business partner, you
		  can indicate if LN must
		  take into account the <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#000096" role="glossary">sourcing percentage</Link> and the <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#000097" role="glossary">priority</Link> for the
		  item/business partner combination. You can define the sourcing percentage and
		  the priority in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/ipu/tdipu0110m000" role="session">Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000)</GUIRef> session, which you can start from the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#specific" role="glossary">appropriate</Link> menu of the
