RFQs WHERE-USED

This non-editable subtask displays information regarding where the provisional part (highlighted in the main screen table window) appears in a vendor Request For Quote (RFQ).  The provisional part must be included in an RFQ via the following methods:

  1. You can assign RFQ lines to the provisional part in a proposal in the RFQ subtask of the Maintain PBOM Cost Estimates - Indented and Maintain PBOM Cost Estimates - Summarized screens in Costpoint Materials Estimating. Similarly, you can select RFQ lines for processing in the Select RFQs from Proposals screen. In both cases, you must run the Create RFQs for Proposals screen to process RFQ lines for a proposal.

  2. Provisional parts may be added to RFQ lines in the Enter RFQs by Vendor screen in the Procurement Planning module.  Provisional parts cannot be used in the Enter RFQs by Item screen.  If the RFQ line was processed via the Create RFQs for Proposals application, it will also appear in the Enter RFQs by Vendor screen.
