REQUEST FOR QUOTATION > Bids/Quotes > Build documents from awarded RFQs

 
Once RFQs have been awarded, you can use this utility to convert (flip) the RFQs into one or many Purchase Orders or Purchase Requisitions.  

All of the relevant details from the original RFQ as well as pricing and other details that were entered during bid tabulation will be brought forward to the resulting document(s).

For details on how this fits into the overall RFQ process, please see RFQ Lifecycle and Workflow.
 

Questions & Options

TIP: If you always select the same options for these prompts, the prompts can be defaulted and suppressed with the Don’t Ask Me This Again feature or Add/Remove Menus and Pop-Up Prompts. By defaulting the prompts, you can build documents with one click of the mouse.  Better yet, you can do this with “no clicks” by using an unattended process.

1.Select which RFQs you would like to process in this session.  Regardless of your selection, only awarded RFQs will be processed.

2.Select whether or not you would like to process PARTIALLY awarded RFQs, that is, RFQs with only some items awarded.  If you include partially awarded RFQs, any items that are not awarded will remain as open RFQs and can be processed later.

3.Select the type of document to build from the awarded RFQs that are being build in this session.

4.Select the user to receive the resulting POs or Requisitions.  The field will default to your user ID. The resulting documents will be loaded into the selected user's PO or Requisition Work Area.
 
TIP for System Administrators:  If you don't want people to be able to route documents to other users, this field can be locked/restricted so that the user cannot select another user ID code.

5.Select whether or not you would like to update the pricing in the Item Master File for the respective suppliers.
