Create a Purchase Order from a Request for Price Quote

If your enterprise uses requests for price quote, you can create a purchase order from a request for price quote. If you selected a vendor and recorded the vendor's response to the request for price quote in Vantagepoint, the purchase order's items grid shows data for the vendor's quoted quantity, price for each item, and associated files.

To create a purchase order from a request for price quote:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select Purchasing > Purchase Orders.
  2. On the Purchase Orders form, click + New Purchase Order > From Price Quote.
  3. On the Create PO from RFQ dialog box, specify the following:
    1. Optional. In the Choose Specific Suggested Vendor field, select a vendor.
    2. In the Exclude If Request Date Prior To field, select a cutoff date.
      By default, this field's value is 90 days from the current date.
  4. Click Search RFQ.
    Vantagepoint displays a list of the price quote requests that match the criteria that you specified.
  5. Select the check box of the price quote request that you want to serve as the basis for the new purchase order record.
  6. Click Select Detail .
  7. On the Request for Price Quote dialog box, select the check boxes of the items that you want to carry over as line items to the new purchase order and click OK.
    Important: In the desktop application, make sure to select the vendor in the Suggested Vendors grid to include the vendor's responses with a price quote for the selected line items.
  8. On the Create PO From RFQ dialog box, click OK.
