Maximum Number of Items The maximum number of items in the given range for which you want to generate a request for quotation (RFQ). If the maximum number of items is exceeded, a new RFQ is created. Maximum Number of Bidders The maximum number of bidders that you want to link to the request for quotation (RFQ). Note If you enter a range of bidders and the maximum number of bidders is exceeded, the RFQ is only linked to the number of bidders that you specify in this field. If you select bidders from an approved source list, the maximum number of bidders is linked to the item. Therefore, if you link a number of bidders to an RFQ, the maximum number of bidders will not necessarily match the value in this field. This is because each item can have a different number of approved suppliers and the maximum number of bidders is limited by the item and not by the RFQ. Each line on an RFQ can therefore have a different maximum number of suppliers. Specify Bidders Starts the Enter Specific Business Partners (tdpur1821s000) session in which you can enter up to 10 bidders for which you want to generate RFQs. Use the Enter Specific Business Partners (tdpur1821s000) session if the bidder numbers that you want to link to the RFQ do not form a successive range.
