-
If this check box is selected, a purchase office is defaulted to the generated RFQs.
- RFQ Series
-
Select the request for quotation (RFQ) series for which you want to generate the RFQs.
- 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.
