Vendor Response Tab of Purchasing and Inventory Company Settings

Use this tab to record vendor responses that can be applied to Purchase Requisitions and Requests for Price Quotes. These responses are useful for providing additional details when first evaluating and then making decisions related to purchases.

When included, vendor responses follow the purchase requisition and request for price quote. You can incorporate them into the agreement terms in the final purchase order.

Vendor responses display in the following areas in Purchasing:

• Purchase Requisitions > View Detail > Vendors Tab > Price Quote Response
• Request for Price Quote > Suggested Vendors > Price Quote Response
• Purchase Orders > Clauses Tab

When a purchase order is generated and one or more responses are entered, the responses will print on the top and/or bottom of the purchase order form in the Agreement Terms. You can apply a response to one line item or all line items.
