Generating RFQs from Requisitions

Purchase Requisition

Select the PO requisition for which you want to generate the RFQ.

Starting/Ending Line

Select the range of PO requisition lines to include in the generation.

Add To RFQ

If you want to use an existing RFQ, select the number to append the generation to.

Generation Method

Select the method by which you want to generate the requests for quote:

• Item/Vendor Rank: One line is created for each item and vendor combination that has been set up on the Vendor Item Cross Reference form.
• RFQ Vendor Set: RFQs are generated based on the vendors set up on the RFQ Template Vendors form.
• None: A separate RFQ number is generated for each item listed without regard to associated vendors. Vendors can then be added manually through the RFQs form.

Rollup Method

Select the basis for determining how many RFQs are created by the generation:

• None: When committed, a separate RFQ is created for each line listed.
• By Buyer/Reference: When committed, a separate RFQ is created for each different buyer and reference combination listed. If there is more than one like reference but with different items, the same RFQ number is used and a second RFQ line is added.
• By Buyer: When committed, a separate RFQ is created for each buyer listed.

Allow Duplicates

Select this check box if you want to allow more than one RFQ generation to occur for the same requisition number. If you clear this check box and an RFQ has been previously generated, no results will be returned for the selected requisition.
