What can I do in this subtask?

Use this subtask to view vendor quote information.

This subtask is only useful if you use the Vendor Quotes applications. In this case, you can use this subtask to retrieve specific vendor information. For example, you can view vendor contact information, and you can view specific information about the requisition line item, including the unit of measure, quantity, and costs.

Quotes are linked (ultimately) to requisition lines. In this subtask, you can view the vendor quote for a specific requisition line item; in addition, you can use the Autoload pushbutton to upload quote information previously entered for this item and linked to this requisition ID.

This subtask displays the Item Vendor and Exchange Rates subtask, allowing you to view vendor information and exchange rates, respectively.

When should I use this subtask?

You should establish quote information when a line item is added to the requisition if you are using the Enter Quotes by Vendor or Enter Quotes by Item screen (Materials\Transactions\Vendor Quotes).
