Manage Vendor Quotes By Vendor

Use this screen to enter quote information for one or more items or miscellaneous line types for a specified vendor.

You can associate a quote by vendor with a specified request for quote (RFQ). To associate the information you enter into this screen with an RFQ, you must first enter the RFQ on the Manage Request for Quotes by Vendor screen, or create one using the Create Request for Quotes for Proposals screen in Costpoint Materials Estimating. If you created any quote lines and added them to proposal costs in the Add Vendor Quotes subtask of the Manage Proposal BOM Cost Estimates - Indented and Manage Proposal BOM Cost Estimates - Summarized screens in Costpoint Materials Estimating, they also display on this screen. Similarly, any new quotes that were added in the Reference Quotes subtask (that have an Add Quote of Y) of the Approve Purchase Requisitions or Approve Requisition Lines screens appear on this screen.

Use this screen whenever you need a vendor quote for multiple items.
