the same time, the sequence number has a number greater than zero. Example The sequence numbers defined in the current field,
represent the RFQ lines in the most suitable alternative sequence. So, sequence
number one represents the first preferable item that can be an alternative for
the originally preferred item, sequence number two represents the second item
that can be an alternative, and so on. Bidder The business partner from whom you order goods or services;
