The Request for Price Quote Form is the form you send to a vendor to ask for an estimated price for a specific item or service. Use the Request for Price Quote Form options to specify formatting and text for your requests. You can preview a request on your computer, adjust the contents or formatting, and then print and mail the form.
Purchasing Templates
You can assign a request for quote template created in the Purchase Template Editor form () to a vendor on the Accounting tab of the Vendor Info Center.
Vision does the following to select a template when it generates the Request for Price Quote Form:
- Vision uses the vendor's template, if one is assigned.
- If no template is assigned to the vendor, Vision uses the default template. The default template is a predefined template that comes with Vision.
Vision then applies the formatting settings from the template when it generates the form.
Purchasing Templates and Signature Files
If the purchase template used for the Request for Price Quote Form has an electronic signature file (an image file), and
Display Signature on Purchase Footer is selected on the Signature tab of the Purchase Template Editor form, Vision displays the electronic signature on the
Signature line of the request.
