The number of the request for quotation (RFQ).
Request for Quotation Lines (tdpur1502m000)Use this session to view, enter, and maintain request for quotation (RFQ) lines. You can start this session as follows:
Note
RFQ The number of the request for quotation (RFQ). Line The position number of the request for quotation (RFQ) line. Default value LN calculates the default position number by using the value defined in the Step Size for RFQs field of the Request for Quotation Parameters (tdpur0100m100) session. Alt The request for quotation (RFQ) line's sequence number, which is greater than one if it includes an item that can be an alternative for the preferred item. You must manually specify alternatives in the Request for Quotation Lines (tdpur1502m000) session. 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. Status The status of the RFQ line. Allowed values Origin The request for quotation (RFQ) line's origin. Example When you create the RFQ line in the Request for Quotation Lines (tdpur1502m000) session, the Origin is Manual. Allowed values Item Cross Reference The alternative way of communicating with the bidder about items. Allowed values Code Item Type The item code system's code. The item code system is used to search for an item in an alternative way, for instance by the bidder's item code. Note You can specify this field only if the Item Cross Reference field is ICS. Cross Reference Item The item code that is used to indicate the item in the Item field. The Item Cross Reference field determines the item code that you can select.
Note The MPN must have the status Approved or For Approval on the RFQ Date. Item In LN, the raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, sold, and so on. An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or exist in multiple product variants. You can also define nonphysical items, which are not held in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The following are examples of nonphysical items:
The item code can be blank, which means bids are requested for a new item. You can add a text to describe the item. When a response line that is linked to the RFQ line receives the Accepted status, the item code becomes mandatory. Note If the warehouse is WMS controlled:
Standard Description If this check box is selected, LN prints both the standard item description and the specific request for quotation (RFQ) line text. If this check box is cleared, LN prints only the specific request for quotation (RFQ) line text. Preferred Manufacturer Part Number The preferred manufacturer part number (MPN) for the item. Manufacturer The item's manufacturer, or the manufacturer that is linked to the manufacturer part number (MPN). Effectivity Unit A reference number, for example a sales order line or a project deliverable line, that is used to model deviations for a unit effective item. Note If the warehouse is WMS controlled, and the Effectivity Units check box is cleared for the warehouse in the WMS Interface Parameters (whwmd2105m000) session, you cannot enter an effectivity unit in this field. Project The project to which the item on the request for quotation (RFQ) line is related. Note If the RFQ line represents a customized item, the project in this field must be equal to the project as specified in the project segment of the Item field. You can also send an RFQ for standard items that are related to a specific project. In this case, you can specify a project in the current field. Quantity The quantity that must be delivered according to the terms on the order line. The quantity is expressed in the purchase unit or the sales unit of the item. Item Dimensions The purchase unit in which the items on the request for quotation (RFQ) line are expressed. Target Price The target price that is desired for the item on this RFQ line. Default value The Purchase Price from the Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000) session. Note If you use landed costs, this price should include these costs.

Receipt Period The start date of the period that the items, for which you send the request for quotation, are scheduled to be delivered. Default value LN retrieves the default start date from the Requests for Quotation (tdpur1501m000) session. Note The start date is copied to the purchase order, or purchase contract, when you copy the RFQ line in the Convert RFQs (tdpur1202m000) session. This happens after you accept the RFQ response from the bidder. You cannot define a receipt period if a receipt date is defined. Delivery Period The end date of the period that the items, for which you send the request for quotation, are scheduled to be delivered. Default value LN retrieves the default end date from the Requests for Quotation (tdpur1501m000) session.

Score Actual If this check box is selected, the calculated response score for the RFQ line is actual and is used when comparing response lines in the RFQ Compare Responses (tdpur1600m100) session. If this check box is cleared, the calculated response score for the RFQ line is no longer applicable, for example, because values have changed in the RFQ Responses (tdpur1506m000) session. Consequently, when the RFQ Compare Responses (tdpur1600m100) session is accessed, the response score is recalculated.
Linked RFQ Line Data Starts the Linked RFQ Data (tdpur1502s000) session. Peg Distribution Starts the Purchase Peg Distribution (tdpur5100m000) session in which you can view, enter, and maintain the peg distribution details.
