         <ListIntro>This case makes the following assumptions:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>The customer is not yet known and, therefore, must be entered
		  in Customer Data Management.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>In the quotation phase, no items are ordered and inquiries can
		  be made. Actual orders can only be entered in <Link href="/baanerp/tg/ebm/case/cd000210" role="manual">Scope</Link>.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>The potential iteration in the process of defining the final
		  specifications in between the sign-off of the quotation and the issuing of the
		  sales order is not modeled in this case. After the quotation has been sent to
		  the customer, a long period of negotiation usually takes place. In this case,
		  requests for quotation-changes can be seen as the same initial request
		  trigger.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Request for Quotation Management handles the Specifications,
		  Price, Quality, and Lead-time (SPQL) definition. Purchase Inquiry Management
		  carries out the investigation for purchased items concerning SPQL.</ListItem>
