Request for Quotation Lines (tdpur1502m100)

Use this session to view the request for quotation (RFQ) lines that are displayed based on the filter settings in the RFQ (tdpur8310m000) session.

When you double-click a line, the Request for Quotation Lines (tdpur1502m000) session is started.

 

Response Date Due

The number of days after which the response line is due.

Note
  • If a negative value is displayed, the response line is already due and the number of days after the response date is displayed.
  • If the response line status is set to Accepted or Processed, no value is specified in this field.
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.

Alternative

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.

Item

The raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, and sold.

An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or which exist in multiple product variants.

You can also define nonphysical items, which are not retained in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The examples of nonphysical items:

  • Cost items (for example, electricity)
  • Service items
  • Subcontracting services
  • List items (menus/options)

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:

  • And the Inbound BOM/List Items check box is cleared for the warehouse in the WMS Interface Parameters (whwmd2105m000) session, you cannot enter a list item of the type kit in this field.
