Related topics Request for quotation procedure RFQs - additional processes Calculating total scores for criteria Ranking RFQ responses Project pegging in Procurement 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 Lines 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 RFQ 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 RFQ Status Origin The request for quotation (RFQ) line's origin. Example When you create the RFQ line in the RFQ Lines (tdpur1502m000) session, the Origin is Manual. Allowed values Origin Item Cross Reference The alternative way of communicating with the bidder about items. Allowed values Item Cross Reference Related topics Setting up and using MPN items 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.

MPN You can select a manufacturer part number (MPN) from the Manufacturer Part Numbers (tdipu0145m000) or Items by MPN (tdipu0149m000) session. Note The MPN must have the status Approved or For Approval on the RFQ Date. Related topics Setting up and using MPN items 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.

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.

The contents of additional fields can be transferred between database tables. For example, the information specified by a user in additional information field A of the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session is transferred to additional information field A in the Shipments (whinh4130m000) session. For this purpose, additional information fields with identical field formats and field name A must be present for the whinh200 and the whinh430 tables (whinh430 corresponds to the Shipments (whinh4130m000) session).
