Quotes Subtask

This subtask displays the quotes for which the selected provisional part (on the main screen table window) is a quote line item.

Quotes may or may not be in response to an RFQ. You can use provisional parts when establishing quotes on the Add Quotes subtask of both the Manage Proposal BOM Cost Estimates - Indented and Manage Proposal BOM Cost Estimates - Summarized screens in Materials Estimating. You can also enter provisional parts on the Manage Vendor Quotes By Vendor screen; however, you can use only standard parts, goods, and services on the Manage Vendor Quotes By Item and Manage Vendor Quotes By Vendor screens.

Not all quantity breakpoints and costs display for a given quote line. Use the View Vendor Quotes application in Purchasing, Procurement Planning, or Materials Estimating to view this information.

This table window displays quote information for the selected provisional part in the main screen. You can also find this information on both the Manage Proposal BOM Cost Estimates - Indented and Manage Proposal BOM Cost Estimates - Summarized screens in Materials Estimating, and on the Manage Vendor Quotes By Vendor screen in Procurement Planning. After you convert the provisional part to a standard part, you can access this information in any application where the quote is referenced.
